I seem to be writing about a lot of children’s authors! Today’s author is Mary Pope Osborne, the author of the wonderful Magic Tree House books.

My siblings and I have loved these books for as long as I can remember! We got my little sister a whole bunch of these when she first learned to read and she loves reading them out loud to Jade, the five year old.

Boxed Set: Magic Tree House Books 1-4

Jack and Annie are able to visit other times and places by simply wishing and pointing to a picture in one of the books that the Magic Tree House holds. And they go just about everywhere – they visit Camelot, Pompeii, the Titanic, and many other places. There’s always a mystery to be solved, and there’s always someone who helps them along the way.

These books do a great job of getting my siblings interested in history and they pave the way for many interesting conversations. 🙂

Have you read any of these? What did you think of them?
