This audio collection includes:
- Dinosaurs Before Dark: Jack and his younger sister, Annie, stumble upon a tree house filled with books. Before Jack and Annie can figure out the mystery of the tree house, it whisks them back to the prehistoric past. Now they have to figure out how to get home. 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 under way in the Great Hall. But Jack and Annie aren’t exactly welcome guests!
- Mummies in the Morning: Jack and Annie don’t need another mummy. But that’s what they get when the Magic Tree House whisks them back to ancient Egypt after reading a book on the same subject. There they find themselves in a pyramid face to face with a long dead queen named Hutepi. Will Jack and Annie be able to help her, or will they end up as mummies themselves?
- Pirates Past Noon: It’s a veritable treasure trove of trouble when the Magic Tree House carries Jack and Annie back to the days of deserted islands, secret maps, and dangerous pirates! Will they discover the hidden buried treasure, or will they face the possibility of walking the plank?
- Night of the Ninjas: Have you ever met a real live ninja? Jack and Annie do when the Magic Tree House whisks them back to ancient Japan in search of enchantress Morgan le Fay. When they arrive, they find themselves in the cave of a ninja master. Will they learn the secrets of the ninja? Or will the evil samurai warriors get them first?
- Afternoon on the Amazon: Vampire bats and killer ants? That's what Jack and Annie are about to run into when the Magic Tree House whisks them back in time to a South American Rain Forest in search of the elusive Morgan le Fay. 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 they mysterious moon man help them? And why is Peanut the mouse acting so strange?

"Great but has NO chapters or story breaks!"
What made the experience of listening to Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8 the most enjoyable?After personally exporting, manually saving every chapter and then resaving broken out by book then burning each story on disc to play for the kids then it was great. The terrible formatting was a huge pain and was the deciding point Not to purchase th next 2 volumes.
Who was your favorite character and why?The kids like it all
What didn’t you like about Mary Pope Osborne’s performance?Nothing. She was good
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?No! No 5 and 7 year old is going to digest 5 hours of stories
Any additional comments?Please fix formatting! I'm tech savy but the 3 hours it took to make it workable was extremely frustrating

"Fun!"
What did you love best about Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8?My 7 year old daughter loved to listen to these while playing lego's or dolls. Much better than having the tv going in the background. She loves the books and has read them and is now enjoying listening to them over and over.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8?The trip to prehistoric times was exciting and entertaining.
Any additional comments?While reading is incredibly important listening and using the imagination is also. This gives the child a different way to use their imagination. Audible books are a great way to encourage development. I also appreciate that Mary Pope Osborne does not use slang. I have found other audible's hard to listen to as they are written in slang or as if a 5-6 year old were speaking. Hearing poor English sets up a pattern for poor speaking in a young mind. I love that this author and this audible did not make me cringe.

"Vocab builder for 7 yr old as I mentally check out"
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?Formulaic. Go to tree. Go to some historical time. Learn three vocabulary words. Go back to tree. I want to pull my hair out. Yet another unfortunate choice of having the author narrate. Of course, I'm 40; I'm hard to please. My seven year old son, however is totally engrossed and is learning as we drive in the car. And for that, Mary Pope Osborne, I love you.
What could Mary Pope Osborne have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?Have someone exile read it, deviate from the formula - however I wouldn't notice because I mentally tune out five words in.
Would you be willing to try another one of Mary Pope Osborne’s performances?Yes. I value my son's education.
Do you think Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8 needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?sure, how 'bout 9-16?
Any additional comments?Ambivalence reigns here. I think I've stated my case.

"My daughter adores these"
We have read these books at home but my daughter loves listening to them again and again while in the car or at the store. Sometimes she follows along in the book and they have her enthralled.

"Jack and Annie have moved in!!!"
If you could sum up Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8 in three words, what would they be?Entertaining. Interesting. Addictive.
What other book might you compare Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8 to and why?The Famous Five - because they are also marvellous adventure tales in which you really get to know and love the characters, like they are part of the family.
What does Mary Pope Osborne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?A very soothing, slow voice which is perfect for children.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Absolutely. I think my daughter did!
Any additional comments?I thoroughly recommend this to everyone. Not only is it a great listen, my daughter (aged 4 1/2) has leaned so much about the different times that Jack and Annie visit. It is a ripper!

"BORING TO THE BONE"
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?I really don't know who is reading this book but it is boring. I got it for my son to listen to when were travelling and he pays no attention to this narrator. She is BORING DRY OLD and DEAD to be blunt. I hate it my son hates it and I wish for a refund
What do you think your next listen will be?My next listen will not be her
How could the performance have been better?She could of had lessons
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?No, its a waste of space on my kindle
Any additional comments?This book tanks on my list
