Resumen del Editor

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 underway 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 the mysterious moon man help them? And why is Peanut the mouse acting so strange?

Great bedtime read. Our favorite children's book so far.

My son kept asking to look at the picture, so he could imagine to story. He had a smile on his face the whole time we listen, and he eagerly gets ready for bed to hear the next story!

Have you listened to any of Mary Pope Osborne’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

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

Yes, but it was fun to see the anticipation of hearing the next chapter.

My daughter loves this!

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

My 9 year old got a mp3 player for her birthday and really has enjoyed the magic tree house books download!

Great Series for Kids

Would you listen to Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8 again? Why?

I would say yes on a long family drive. My daughter been young and my son getting to the age were he can listen to a book long enough to understand what is going on. I feel it would be like a movie that your kids put on repeat.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Anne was great. My daughter can not stop talking about her

Any additional comments?

This was my daughters first experience with audio books and the narration is way more fun then me reading the same books to her.

An Imaginary Series

This series is so interesting. I like it. A good series with imagination, what the reader expects is not what it seems.

Wonderful stories for long drives.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you have children, these are a great way to pass the time on a long drive.

What did you like best about this story?

The stories are very captivating and each set of downloads includes around 8 books from the series. Each story builds on the next.

Which scene was your favorite?

We enjoy Mummies in the morning most. Book 3 I believe.

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

No. Better to break them up.

Any additional comments?

Overall I would highly suggest them. The only critique I have is that they are all read by the Author. She does a good job, but just doesn't put enough "life" into each of the characters.

The Books Wouldn't Be This Popular For Nothing

Would you listen to Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8 again? Why?

Yes, I would. And over and over and over . . .More importantly, my kids will listen to these over and over, although they're most excited to hear a new one. They know this series from having it read to them in print, starting when my older child was not yet 4. They're now 4 and 5-1/2.

What about Mary Pope Osborne’s performance did you like?

Mary Pope Osborne does an adequate job: she definitely doesn't sound like some of the amateur readers I've heard on free audiobooks. She's also, however, not as skilled as may of the professional audio readers.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I haven't been moved by the books, but I've realized over time that my kids have learned from them. I tend to skip over the parts the character Jack reads from his books and my mind stays with the story, but my kids soak it all in. Recently we saw a toucan at a zoo, and my 4 year old started talking about the different levels of the rainforest.

Great kids stories for the car

This first audiobook collects the first 8 books of the extensive Magic Treehouse book series.

My kids are 6 and 4, and these stories are perfect for both of their ages (and don't annoy my teenager too much ;)

These are great for car rides, stories the kids like. And nice calm stories that aren't too exciting. And a great message about the magic of books and childhood.

Magic tree house books are so awesome!

The best part of the story was that the wizard saved the children with the mammoth

loved it!

took me back to my, and my older kids younger childhood of storied of adventures. defiantly would recommend to anyone.

Kids loved it

My kids, nearly 8 & 10, both loved this set. It was a perfect companion to our road trip. Highly recommend!
