Magic Tree House

I was recently looking for a chapter book to read aloud with Caleb and found the Magic Tree House series.

The series features Jack and Annie who travel to historical places using a magic tree house. They travel to different places by opening a book in the tree house, pointing at a picture and wishing they could go. The series also has research guides that give more information about the historical places that Jack and Annie visit.

Caleb and I have just finished the first book, Dinosaurs Before Dark, and will begin reading the next book soon. We are going to take a small break and read Charlotte’s Web first.
