Can they do it before dark, or will they be become a dinosaur's dinner?
• The Knight at Dawn: Peacocks for dinner and boys in skirts. That's what Jack and Annie find when the Magic Tree House transports them back to the Middle Ages for another wild adventure. They find themselves in the middle of an enormous castle and can hear the beginnings of a feast underway in the Great Hall. But Jack and Annie aren't exactly welcome guests!

It's not long before they get hopelessly lost on the Amazon River. Will they be able to find their way back to the tree house before they are trampled by stampeding killer ants?
• Sunset of the Sabertooth: The Ice Age is very cool...for two kids in bathing suits! Jack and Annie nearly freeze when the Magic Tree House whisks them back into the time of cave people and woolly mammoths. But nothing can stop them from having another wild adventure - not even a sabertooth tiger!
• Midnight on the Moon: Three...two...one...blast off! The Magic Tree House whisks Jack and Annie off to the moon - and the future. Their mission? To find the last "M" thing that will free Morgan from the spell. Can they do it before the air in their oxygen tank runs out? Will the mysterious moon man help them? And why is Peanut the mouse acting so strange?

Cute at ten and at thirty.

Also, the interview was cute! And the thing about how audiobooks are a very ancient form of absorbing stories was an excellent point that I hadn't thought of before.

Thanks for the books!

The whole family loved it.

We loved listening to these books on our long car rides. They gave my oldest kids a way to use their brains and imaginations since we live in the country and drive a decent distance to even get to a grocery store. Some of it my first grader didn't understand, so it let us bond even more and foster a better love for reading. By far this is the best alternative to video games or movies in the car, or even reading a physical book since my oldest kid gets motion sick. As an adult, I truly appreciated the quality of the audio, background music, sound effects, and the effort that the narrator put into making sure it didn't get boring!

wonderful bedtime stories

Wonderful audibooks for non-native speakers

Interesting stories, I love them. Author is really an excellent writer and speaker ❤

An audible book collection for the whole family!

This series is magical and wonderful and narrated beautifully by Mary Pope Osborne! My kids cannot wait to hear more and ALWAYS ask to listen anytime we are in the car. Even I cannot wait to hear what happens next in the stories! It's so exciting when my 5 year-old yells "Run Jack, run Annie!". All of my children were so excited when "M" was finally revealed! What an amazing series and perfect narration! We would recommend this to anyone!

awesome!

loved it
listened together with the kids and we all really enjoyed all the books. looking forward to the next series

Wonderful

What did you love best about Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8?

They are very captivating to young readers and little ears, my 4 year old to quote "but I didn't finish listening to all the book yet"

Which scene was your favorite?

The dinosaur story has been my favorite so far.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I certainly wouldn't mind, but my kids can only listen through 2 or so at a time.

Any additional comments?

I love how engrossed my son is by these books, they really captivate him and keep him engaged. I am truly excited about him being excited by the stories and listening to them, I think this will help him have the same enthusiasm for reading.

Good for little ones.

The kids (4 and 2 year olds) love it. The performance is very engaging, and the subject matter is pretty good. I didnt mind listening along.

A great series for my six-year-old boy.

The series has taught him a lot about history, it encourages adventure, exploration, and even research. We have now listened to about 20 of these stories, and the storyline is very redundant. However, this is not so much a problem for my six-year-old, it is more a problem for me. He is still very eager to listen to every single book in the series. My four-year-old boy also likes the stories, but does not get lost in them in the same way my six-year-old does.

very good book

I think this series will countuned to be good. I thank the author
