Dinosaurs Before Dark (Magic Tree House, No. 1)

My Grandson loves this book! Dinosaurs Before Dark is a fantastic introduction to the Magic Tree House series. The story is fast-paced, easy to follow, and filled with just the right mix of adventure, imagination, and fascinating dinosaur facts to keep young readers engaged. Jack and Annie are likable characters whose curiosity makes the journey even more enjoyable. It's a wonderful choice for children beginning chapter books and a great way to spark an interest in reading and history.

Read this to 4 year olds and they loved it! This is a great start for learning listening comprehension. Plus it was fun to read a book I read as a kid!

Great book for kids. My son loved it and we use it for reading skills. He had a great time.

The book was great to read and l lovd that has 10 chapters

Was a little boring for my 9 year old. Was good to use and work on reading comprehension but not his favorite book.

Childhood classic. An easy introduction to short chapter books, but still have pictures often enough to hold their attention. We have only used it as a read aloud so far.

This was a great chapter book. It was a really fun adventure. The two characters, Jack and his younger sister Annie, find all kinds of fun and trouble on their magical trip to a world filled with dinosaurs. This book had really cool illustrations too. They were beautiful and did a fantastic job of giving a sense of scale. They made the tree house look like it was way up high in the tree and they made the dinosaurs look huge. Sal Murdocca is a talented artist. They did a great job incorporating them with the typography. I could tell some of the illustrations were designed specifically to leave space for a paragraph or two of text and it made the book even more fun to read than just having little illustrations placed on the top of the page every once in a while. There was usually only one illustration per chapter but they always took up at least one whole page and sometimes two pages in a big spread. A lot of thought went into the layout and illustrations of this book and it makes for one heck of a read for a small exciting 10 chapter story. I read this book because I'm getting into writing chapter books and this book came highly recommended from the research I did on great kids chapter books. Now I can see why. Great writing that I can tell was crafted into very neat and easy to read sentences. A well plotted little story that just moves and keeps the reader engaged. A really fun magical adventure, and gorgeous well used illustrations along the way. I can't wait to read Magic Tree House # 2 and visit a castle!

Great first chapter books. The series is thoughtfully written and well researched.

Wonderful story book.

Very cute story with lots of information for young readers. Using it to teach English to a mom who's child is going to an English school here, having fun explaining typical expressions used in English children's books.

Really happy with this book , it's in perfect condition, no imperfections! And delivery was very quick !!

It was too magical and absolutely super book for kids

Pequeño, manejable y fácil de leer. La calidad del papel es tipo reciclado, nada de hojas blancas satinadas y sin dibujos a color. La historia muy chula.
