Another great story in the series October 2, 2007
My 8-year-old son is a huge fan of Magic Tree House, and this latest book was just as interesting and fun to read as all the other books. This time, Jack and Annie meet Leonardo Da Vinci in old Italy on their mission to find the secret to happiness. Again, Osborne spins historical information into a tale of magic and wonder, which is fun to read for children and are educational just the same. The plot is a bit more simple this time, and it is somewhat lacking the magic that "Christmas in Camelot" and "Summer of the Sea Serpent," but is is well-developed and leaves the reader content - at least my son and I were.
Magic Treehouse books continue to inspire October 1, 2007
This latest installment in the hugely successful Magic Treehouse series finds Jack and Annie traveling back in time to the Enlightenment period to spend a day helping Leonardo da Vinci. This third installment in the latest four book challenge has Jack and Annie seeking the true meanings of happiness. Once again, Mary Pope Osborne uses her brilliant technique to bring history alive and to explore philosophical ideas. In this story she describes every day life in the 16th century, discusses Leonardo's ideas and challenges in a way that makes him appear very human, and gives a wonderful story for the painting of the Mona Lisa. This is all written at a level my five-year old understands and my ten-year old still enjoys.
Great Education, Great Book, Too September 28, 2007
My second grader loves this new Magic Tree House book! He read it twice the day he received it. He become so curious about Leonardo Da Vinci that he asked me about him so I dig out one of my art books about Da Vinci and showed him some of his most famous works. The next day he shared this book with his class in the morning sharing time and the class had a good discussion about Leonardo Da Vinci. I can't think of a better way to give a 7 year old such great education! I haven't read this book yet myself but I'm going to read it when his best friend returns it.
Great Book! September 22, 2007
