I loved Pirates! I had my own pirate ship and castle toys and the soldiers of the castle fought the pirates and some of them always ended up in the dudgeon.
This book was the first one where I was actually aware of a real bad guy in the books. There is a riddle in this story and I was so happy when I figured it out. And since this was a book with the topic of Pirates, there was of course buried treasure, and of course it was found, but before our heroes could open the book, they had to More...

Magic tree house book #4 pirates past noon by mary pope osborne. My favorite part pirates past noon was chapter 1, when its raining and they magic tree house starts shaking and they go it to the island. the book reminded me of in spongebob squarepants where patrick and spongebob squarepants goes in the box and starts imaging that they go to places. i made a prediction that the pirates were going to lose jack and annie while chasing them for being on island. i wonder why they made a series about

10/14/09 Read today with Annabelle. Yesterday she perused ALL the pictures. She was really excited about it. At one point I asked her what she thought would happen next and she said, "Mom, I already know! JUST KEEP READING!" Maybe she knew because she'd seen the pictures. Maybe she didn't know! But she enjoyed this book as well. When I explained to her that the black flag with skull and cross bones represented a pirate ship, she already knew that! (Where does she learn these t

This book is #4 in the wildly popular Magic Tree House series, which follows two children named Jack and Annie on adventures and mysteries through time and history via none other than a magic tree house. With the popularity of everything pirates these days this is a great read for elementary students. Jack and Annie encounter pirates with silly names, treasure maps, and hidden gold. The great thing about this series is that it can be enjoyed by a variety of ages. Four and five year olds will enj

Jack and Annie have returned to the tree house. They are greeted by a parrot. They see a book opened to a gorgeous sunny beach and their hometown is rainy and cold.

They help the pirate to find the treasure, but the pirates are scared away by the parrot and they run back to the treehouse.

In the MAGIC TREE HOUSE Pirates Past Noon by Mary Pope Osborne, Jack and his seven-year-old sister Annie have a magic tree house that can go back in time.
Jack and Annie are taken to the time of the pirates but soon after they arrived they were captured by Captain Bones and his men. Now Jack and Annie have to find the Kids treasure or they’ll have to walk the plank. If you want to know more you’ll just have to read the book to find out.
I recommend this book to boys a More...

In this book, Jack and Annie went to a pirate place and they didn't go home, because the magic tree house kept moving to different trees. By reading this book, I learned that we don't always get to go where we want. -Saskia
A lot happened in this book. My favorite thing was when they found a treasure chest. It was very interesting when they thought they were just on a beach, but really they were on a pirate island. Reading this book makes me want to read the next book. -Sam

For the first time ever Alex made a request for a specific kind of book when we went to the library. His kindergarten teacher read them a Magic Treehouse book, and he wanted to get one for us to read at home. Couldn't exactly deny a request like that! This was a cute story... I loved the relationship between Annie and Jack as brother and sister. It's easy enough that before long my 5 year old will be able to read this on his own without much help. We look forward to reading others in this series

My generic review for the Magic Tree House books -
We've loved them all so far. They are fun, easy to read and contain quite a bit of historical information. We use them as read-alouds, but most elementary/middle school kids could read them on their own.
It does have a touch of 'girl power' at the expense of making the brother seem a little dumb. That kinda bugs. But it's not obvious and my boys haven't noticed. They think Jack is just as cool as his sister.

These books (The Magic Tree House Series) are ideal for about 5 - 8 year olds. They're full of illustrations and basic facts about the period to which Jack and Annie get transported.
In this one Jack and Annie get transported to a pirate island whereat Captain Kidd's treasure is allegedly buried. They are kidnapped by pirates and helped by a mysterious parrot. They find out whose tree house they have been using at the end, it belonging to Morgan le Fay.

My 4 yo and I are enjoying these short early chapter books. There is just enough adventure and danger to make a good story he can follow, as well as enough for me to enjoy. The bonus is these are "edutainment," so we both learn a few new facts.My son loved the parrot in the book. Also check out the non-fiction companion book Pirates by the same author.

Audrey brought this book home from the elementary school library last week. She seemed to enjoy looking at the pictures and could read the first few paragraphs by herself (tired out after that). I appreciated that the author uses proper grammer (unlike the Junie B. Jones series) and that she is learning some history/literature at the same time.

I read this to my younger two children (6&4) in one sitting. They stayed with it the entire time. They never lost interest in the story which to me means a good book for kids. My older two kids (10&7) love reading these books of the Magic Tree House series and mention some of the actual facts later during dinner conversations.

The fourth book in the Magic Tree House series, Pirates Past Noon, is the fun tale of Jack and Annie when they end up on an island. The island is full of pirates, buried treasure, and talking parrots. My kids loved this book! We also finally find out who M is, which is something my kids were excited to find out!

This is the 4th book in the series. I have been reading these with Caleb and he has liked the stories even though he doesn't understand bits of it. They are mostly fun but some of the plots have been a bit weak. Mostly #2, there has to be something more exciting in a castle than falling in a moat.

Again, I have written about this series before and I continue to praise it. This series has been the perfect books to read aloud to my four year son. He gets into the adventure and feels like he is reading a real book.
We loved this one because you get to find out about the mysterious 'M'. And who doesn't like pirates?? Arghhhhhh ;)

I liked this book because I learned that pirates buried treasure. Captain Bones had slaves and he made them pull the rock to find the treasure. It is not my favourite jack and Annie book but it was an enjoyable read. I did not know what was going to happen next and this made it really exciting!

This was another great book in the "Magic Treehouse" series. This story had a lot of excitement, with the rough pirates adding some drama and a storm brewing. The kids finally figure out who the "M" person is in this story, so that was a nice touch as well. Looking forward to the next story...

During the ROOB competition I read through a bunch of the earliest Magic Tree House books. In Pirates Past Noon Jack and Annie go back in time to learn how to be pirates and to discover the identity of the mysterious M.
The earliest books are very short compared the newest ones. They are also short on plot. The gist here is that the siblings are still trying to learn who owns the tree house and how it works the way it does. In the middle of all of this are pirates who are out to get More...

Another in the Magic Tree House series, I really enjoyed this one because this is where they <spoiler> meet Morgan Le Fey </spoiler> and I think I just realized why I like this series so much. It combines a little bit of Camelot and history with kids learning and exploring.

The pirates got Jack and Annie and they found the treasure for the pirates. It started to rain and the pirates forgot about the treasure so they left it there and then Annie went into the treehouse and Jack stared at the chest and the wind started to pick up and Annie said to forget about it, so did Polly the parrot. Jack went inside. April 2010
One day Jack and Annie went to the beach (in the tree house). Then they got caught by pirates. They get released until found the treasure. More...
