 great for keeping young readers interested and looking forward to readingMay 07, 2010
This book series is very simply written and with some grammatical errors "till" instead on until, beginning sentences with "And". However, it has been fun to read 5 of these books with my 6-7 year old son over the past month. It takes about an hour to read the whole story. He looks forward to the next story, as the story in the books are interweaved and sequentially dependent. He even wanted to peek at the end of the book to see what happened before we started reading! It is that kind of enthusiasm that encourages more reading. A few of the stories were borderline scary because the kids are held captive by a pirate, and in danger of being hurt by a sabertooth tiger etc, but these can be put into perspective if the child is ready to deal with it.
My relunctant reader zipped thru these & begged for more!Apr 29, 2010
I've been struggling to find books that interest my 11 year old-delayed reader. He actually really enjoys History, so finding these books that call to his interest in history, encouraged him to zip through them, and "forced" me to buy the next 4 in the series! Thank you Magic Tree House!!
Great read for second grader!Feb 17, 2010
My son is in second grade but reads at a 4.1 level so I got these for him in hopes that it would spur him into a desire to read for fun...boy it worked! He read them all in 2 days and asked for more. Great content and easy flow with good plots twists and character carry-over.
Great SetJan 31, 2010
My grandson loves these books. I started him on book #1 and now he is on Book #5 Night of the Ninjas. He loves the action and the characters in each book and also learns something new. Very Good Books for 7 & 8 years old.

 Poor ExampleJan 24, 2010
I am a first grade teacher and I beg you to NOT get any of these books. They are a terrible example for children learning to write. One of the many strategies I teach my students to use while spelling and writing is to ask themselves, "Does it look right?" because so much of what is taught is reinforced by exposure and experience. With the MTH books being such poor examples of grammar, sentence structure, and story development, what these children are learning (or un-learning) is detrimental. What in the world were the editor and author thinking??? They should be ashamed. I came on to write an honest review because there are so many that praise this series and I am glad to see there are people who realize how important correct grammar and syntax are in children's literature. I really thought I was alone due to the bizarre popularity of these books.
