"Osborne's narration is low-key and well-paced. A great way to introduce children who are reluctant readers or can't yet read to this highly entertaining book series and to reading in general."--Chicago Parent

“Osborne's soothing, beautifully articulated voice and knack for characterization are reliably pleasing."—AudioFileDolphins at Daybreak ©1997 Mary Pope Osborne; Ghost Town at Sundown ©1997 Mary Pope Osborne; (P)2001 Random House, Inc., Imagination Studio, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing Group

Ok for the 4yr old

The Magic Treehouse series is aimed at early readers. As such, the audio version is best for kids just on the cusp of reading - four and five year olds who can't yet tackle these books on their own. Kids love these stories. The reading is pleasant.
However, these books make an excellent argument for getting Junior his own iPod.... they're mind-numbingly formulaic and represent research in such a simplistic way that it makes my teeth itch. It's like *listening* to an episode of Barney. If you want something the kids AND mom and dad can all agree on, I'd suggest trading up to Dragon Rider.
