Summary: Great Read Aloud Book
Review: It's not often that I find a book that I actually enjoy reading aloud to my children. Most books, even kids books, have long, descriptive passages or paragraph upon paragraph of exposition which are boring to listen to and tough to read aloud without me getting dried out.

However, the Magic Treehouse Books are quick reads that are easy to dramatize. Main characters Jack and Annie have distinct personalities that are fun to give voice to. Jack is the serious scientific type. With his signature "Oh, man!", he is the perfect counterpoint to younger, impetuous sister Annie. ("Hi!")

While it's not necessary to start with the first book of the series (Ms Osborne does a commendable job of filling in the back story in each book w/o slowing down the narration), I recommend starting with book one since there are elements that build in each consecutive book. (Who is the mysterious M?)

The Treehouse books also offer contemporary vocabulary (but not to the point of being ridiculous), cool settings and fun drawings.

But the best thing about these books? Even my oh, so cool ten year old will sit down and listen.

Summary: Dragons still live By EW
Review: This book is where Jack and Annie go back to Japan where they meet the first king, the Dragon-King. A lot of people are worried because the Dragon-King is going to burn all the books that he finds. It's kind of scary, but mostly action-packed when Jack and Annie try to save the books. I highly reccomend this book to all fans, wether your a big fan or not.
