The first grade teacher at our local elementary school introduced us to this series. (Thanks JD!)
My daughters enjoyed them all, but this was the favorite of my youngest, who prefers to build snow animals, in lieu of snowmen.

OK- this book is TOTALLY not for me. This was, obviously, one for the kids. We finished Narnia and are waiting on Percy Jackson to come from the library, so I read this little thing that my mom either bought for the boys or accidentally packed in our stuff... I'm not sure how we came by this book actually.
Turns out, it's #36 in a series. Yikes.

Aidan picked this out as his free book from Borders (for reading 10 books). Aidan was pretty absorbed by it. He liked the characters and he really liked trying to guess what would be happening next. It was easy reading for Aidan, and the vocabulary was not above him at all. As an adult reader, I found it OK. While reading this, I *felt* like I was reading a book for children, whereas when I read Dahl, or White, I feel like I am reading true literature. There's just no beauty to the language in t

This is a fantastic series. My daughter LOVES these. It combines adventure with real events in history. The series is about a brother and sister team - 8 year old Annie and 9 year old Jack - that discover a magic treehouse that transports them to different places around the globe during different times in history where they have adventures while trying to solve a mystery or find a clue for the owner of the treehouse. They are a lot of fun, and teach some history at the same time.

I read this story once, a long time ago. And I could not stop thinking about it, of figure out what bok it was. I thought it had been a book called "The Last Unicorn" so i looked and looked. Nothing! The image of the tapestry in the story: a unicorn chained to a fance, kept popping up, both in my head and other places: on my friend's pillow, for example. Then one day, about a week ago, my little brother grabbed all the Magic Tree house books he could find out of the library, and ch

After I read this book I went on to Google and looked up the A train and saw the different lines and that it had stops by Central Park. Then I looked up the Cloisters and saw a picture of the captured unicorn.
It was a great book! The cover of the book is cool too! Oh, I also learned what a blue moon means :)

Mary Pope Osborn has created a world with the Magic Tree House series that children can come back to again and again and experience a new adventure with each story. In Blizzard of the Blue Moon Jack and Annie are sent on another quest by Merlin to free a imprisoned unicorn somewhere in New York City in a blizzard during the Great Depression. The cover of the book is very shiny, which will help draw a child’s attention to it. There are a few black and white pictures in the book ever few pages to

Okay before you start wondering why I randomly picked up a Magic Tree House book, allow me to explain. I'm volunteering for this organization called Reading to Kids and I'm assigned to the 4th graders. This book was the selection for me to read at storytime and I wanted to read it before going to volunteer. But in all honesty, I've heard so much about the Magic Tree House series that I've always been curious. Its a bit of a paint by numbers formula kids book, but I can see why its popular.

I read this book and one about Louis Armstrong with my 7-year-old grandson while I was visiting this month. The writer uses a fantasy format to send two children off, via a magic treehouse, on a problem-solving adventure in cities and time periods throughout the world. Through this the reader learns all about the time and place and people in an interesting way. I found them delightful and would recommend them to anyone with elementary children.

Very easy to read, very cute story. Little on the cheesy side, but for the age range, it's supposed to be, I believe! I enjoyed the book and will be reading the rest of the series throughout the next couple of months. Reminiscent of the old choose your own adventure books I used to read when I was younger. Great use of historical facts tied into the stories.

This was just fun from beginning to end. Annie and Jack head for New York to free a unicorn from a spell and protect it from baddies. Incidentally they save NYC from a horrid blizzard on a blue moon (2nd moon of the month). This was an excellent depiction of the Great Depression for a very young age.

This book is fantastic! One reason I like it is because it has a unicorn in it. The other reason I like it is because it is a Jack and Annie book. I love the name "Annie." The thing that I mostly like is that Jack and Annie go to a museum in Central Park. I really want to go to a park.

Book #36 in the Magic Tree House series. Good book but just wasn't as rich in the plot development as some of the other books we have read. It is set in NYC during the Great Depression but skimmed the surface of history and instead focused on finding a lost unicorn. Good, just not as rich in facts as other books we have read in this series.

My favorite so far. Of course I'm a sucker for a beautiful unicorn, some things never change, I guess. I also lovebthe image of Merlin and Morgan taking off for a drive around New York, too cute. The foreshadowing about the Darj Wizard and his (her?) apprentices was also fun.

I really like how she subtley adds a history lesson into her stories. This book is about New York during the Great Depression. It opened a lot of opportunities to talk about the city itself, some of America's history and historical landmarks.

well, I learnd that Jack and Anne are good siblings. And work together really well. And when Jack lost Anne he usually thought treasure was rare jewels but realized now Anne was the most rarist thing. I really liked that part about it.

The Magic Tree House series helps children learn about places and time periods through magical stories. This particular book had several interesting facts about New York City and the Great Depression.

I'm obviously too old for these books, [I'm 16] but they're like a guilty pleasure. I'm rating it three stars because they are basic and repetitive. However, they're great books for little kids!

I read this book with my students. I do like the series. It was a good book for my students. They learned about fantasy vs reality. They also got a very brief look at the Great Depression.

Another great Magic Tree House book. My kids loved it. It makes me want to visit NYC again and visit Central Park, Belvedere Castle, and the Cloisters. Who knew a children's book would get me so interested in travel?

I tried selecting all the MTH books I read as a kid. I read them all. So I gave up at 36 something. My favorite collection in 3rd grade, and now I got my little sister into them! XD

I know a lot of kids really love this series, but I didn't end up loving it. From what I've read online about the series, I picked up one of the later books in the series; A Merlin Mission.POssibly if I had picked up one of the first ones, I would've been more satisfied. It was definitely ok and I believe kids would still like it, but I didn't see much appeal in it.

Don't really like Magic Treehouse - I only read like, two, and I don't remember the other one I read, so I can't put in on here.
