In the series, the siblings discover a tree house located in the woods near their home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tree house can transport the siblings to different historical periods and places. Beginning with book 29, Jack and Annie receive quests from the ancient wizard <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Merlin_the_Magician\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Merlin the Magician<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Magic Tree House Chapter Book Series Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the series, the characters get sent to various locations around the World for the purpose of achieving a particular goal, which often involves rescuing an important historical figure or document.&nbsp;The series currently has a total of 51 books. Each volume will often follow an arc that begins and ends in the treehouse.&nbsp;Each story is full of suspense, guaranteeing that the young ones will at one point find themselves in a precarious position, even though things always turn out well in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meet the author of the Magic Tree House Chapter Book Series \u2013 Mary Pope Osborne.&nbsp; (She raves about the importance of going outside, in your community and spending time with family and friends \u2013 going on your own adventures)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Meet Mary Pope Osborne\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pHHJOCS9IQM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Want to Know More About the Magic Tree House Chapter Book Series?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The writing in the Magic Tree House Chapter Books is simple to read for young readers, but not babyish, and has great pacing.&nbsp;Historical facts and events are interwoven into the fiction story line.&nbsp;There is a non-fiction Magic Tree House Chapter Book series that accompany some of the stories.&nbsp; We have found these books informative in nature and a little bit harder to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the series progresses, you will notice that the language changes from simple, to a bit more sophisticated.&nbsp;They start to get harder with the Merlin Mysteries, book 29 and later. With the change in language, you will also see that the plot changes to incorporate more fun, making it ideal for older readers who may be interested in this kind of stories too. One thing that does not change is the level of scariness incorporated throughout the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally feel like the books deal with tough topics such as war in very <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">age appropriate<\/span> ways.&nbsp;If you ever feel that a topic may be more advanced than your child is ready for \u2013 read the book prior to them reading it.&nbsp;We found that discussing the books we both had the chance to read not only showed our children that reading was important, but also gave us the opportunity to discuss some topics that would not normally come up in dinner table conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any parent who has school going children between the <strong>ages of five and eight years<\/strong> will find that the series makes for a great evening read. While the series is ideal for first and second-grade children, they can also be read to advanced kindergartners. We purchased the set of books 1-41 for my daughter when she was 4 years old and read them out loud to her one chapter at a time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of each chapter we would predict what we thought would happen next.&nbsp;At the beginning of each new day, we would take turns summarizing previous events in the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She then read them all within a few month span of time when her reading took off in kindergarten and again in grade 3, because she \u201ccouldn\u2019t remember\u201d every story and they were worth her time to re-read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not into the Magic Tree House?
