Great Entertainment for 6 year olds

My daughters (both aged 6) have really enjoyed this series. There are eight stories, so a lot of material to listen to. The stories generated some very good conversations.

Two concerns to warn you about: 1) the characters travel to the Titanic and to 2 wars as part of their travels, so death and tragedy are discussed; 2) The characters (about 8 and 10 year olds), sneak out of the house without parents’ permission.

Two thumbs up from my 6yo

I haven't actually listened to this myself, but it kept my 6-1/2 year old happy and quiet for two days in the car. Afterwards she had to play "Jack and Annie" (the main characters in the series). If your children enjoy this series, they are bound to enjoy this listen. It's nice that the books are short enough to keep a young child's attention.

Good book

I am a 5 year-old girl. I like to read and to listen to stories. So I like Magic Tree House books because some of them are funny and some of them are scary. But most of all they're fun. The end.
(From the reader's mom: my daughter read at an early age so she may enjoy these books more than the average kindergartener. I don't know if that's is the case but thought I mention it because this series is targeted to slightly older children)

Magic Treehouse is a great collection

My children now 11 and 9 have enjoyed this series from the beginning. What a treat to actually hear the author tell her own stories! Although they have read all the books they enjoy having them read to them on the way to football practice. With almost 40 books to her credit you can't go wrong with these stories.

Magic Tree House Collection: Books 17-24

Osborne is an excellent author. She provides a series of book which will foster continuous reading. Audio can be somewhat mono tone at times

Great books

These are great books and the stories are really entertaining and educational. The only one I did not agree with was the one at the world fair where she portrays Edison as a genius, which is not true. The genius was Nikola Tesla, but I used it to explain this to my 6 yo son, that sometimes people are not what history says they are. Developing always a critical mind!

Awesome Narrator and Great for Road trips!

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

Absolutely, my boys (both age 5) have loved listening to the audiobooks of The Magic Treehouse! The narrators do a great job of captivating young minds.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Magic Tree House Collection?

My boys love every time the narrator reads "it spun faster and faster and then everything was still. Absolutely still". They say the quote along with the reader each and every time!

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

Her voices for each character are great!

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

The boys love when Morgan comes back and shares her wisdom.

Kids loved it

Kids loved it and kept their interest. We bought the series which they enjoyed too.
