• 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?

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

Awesome!

My nine year old son has loved these books since kindergarten! I grew up listening to Harry Potter on cassette tape and I truly believe listening to audiobooks every night is what made me love books so much. We give my son the option between 30 minutes of tv or book before bed and he will pick these books almost every night! Its awesome that they come in a group of multiple books too, since they are on the shorter side.

great for kids

made the commute so much better!! now the hour seems to go by in half the time

love these!

I grew up with these stories and now my kids love them just as much as I do! The performance is excellent and keeps my 4 and 6 year old boys thoroughly engaged during road trips or bed time. Worth every penny!

Very good

Good for reading to children as the chapters are short and easy to understand.

A favorite for car rides~

Just a delightful series of stories. Just the right length. Keeps the attention of my almost 4 year old nephew.
And we listen (particularly) to the dinosaur one over and over and over again!

Love this series!

My kids listen to this series over and over! And I personally never mind hearing it either. Well read. Just the right amount of voice inflection.

Very good 😊

This is amazing I have three favorite book series Beverly Cleary magic treehouse and Junie B Jones and magic treehouse became one of my favorites 😃😁🙃😋

Amazing and Nostalgic

I read these books as a kid and now have a 6 year old son that now gets to experience this series through Audible! I love that they're read by Mary Pope Osborne; the voices she does and music in the books is so captivating and really includes listeners in the story! I absolutely recommend this for a family or for anyone who wants to show their kids the magic of this book series! My son and I love it!
