this book brings back memories

I loved this book as a kid so I read it again as an adult.

Wonderful First Fantasy Experience For The Young

These are the first chapter books I read to my children, and this one was their favorite. Now, I've downloaded it for my granddaughter. Educational, yet often a brand new genre for young people age 5 and up. This series never fails to capture their imagination and take them to a different place and time.

lovely narration

These sets of stories are really great. I like to set these up in the kids room at bedtime

Good story

The story was good, but the reader was hard to follow along with. I have read this series when I was little and thought my daughter would enjoy them as well. I still like the books, but I think I will stick to reading them myself.

Rated by an 8 year old: 'Awesome Gift, Nana.'

Grandaughter says: "I like to listen to the books at night when I am going asleep and when I clean my room or just listen. When Mom and Nana are listening to their books I was bored. Now we all listen to audio books that Nana calls "Books on Tape". Shes silly because there isn't tape. She gave me her iPhone without the phone but it's cool. Thank You."

We have several Magic Tree House paper books that are frequently read to my grand daughter. When I saw, in December 2012, that Audible was offering these books for less than 2 dollars each I purchased all of them as grand daughters holiday present.

I had an older gen. iPhone which I'd turned into, basically, an iPod for grand daughter and added all 50 books to the phone.

I love listening to books, her mom loves listening to books, and now grand daughter is hooked. Though we still read to her and she to us, she loves putting a Magic Tree House story on while she cleans her room or even while she does homework some times-the little kid can multi task too. We also play it in the car, though she'd rather have her headphones on and listen to stories by herself.

I recommend this series of books for 7+ year olds who are ready to listen alone and who have the skills to work an MP3 type player...or do as I did and turn that old phone into an MP3player of some kind.

I have also downloaded games that challenge her and math and spelling games she can do herself. Face it...kids her age are the second generation of computer geek nerd types and they need to be challenged by their tech.

Magic Tree House series is a wonderful place to start...and thanks, Audible, for this affordable special.
