Thank you for creating such a wonderful series.-K. My Magic Tree House books are never on the bookshelf because they are always being read by my students. The children in the fourth grade even hide the books in the library so that they will be able to find them when they are ready to check them out.-K. Your books truly invite children into the pleasure of reading. Our students have “Magic Tree House fever.” I can’t keep your books on the library shelf.-J.

It feels good to hear my students ask for a book and cheer when a new book comes out.-J. My class always chimes in at key parts of the story. We pull our map down to find the areas where the adventures take place. We check your Web site to find new information. We have enjoyed your books all year long. I love how I can go beyond the books and use them as springboards for other learning.-R. Your stories have inspired even my most struggling readers.-M. They have absolutely fallen in love with these books! … My students are now asking me for more independent reading time to read them. I first came across your Magic Tree House series when my son brought one home … I have since introduced this great series to my class. I can’t order enough copies! … Thanks for contributing so much to children’s literature!-C. I discovered your books last year … WOW! Our students have gone crazy over them. It excites me to see how involved is in your books … I would do anything to get my students more involved, and this has done it.-C. They have given me the chance to bring in additional books, materials, and videos to share with the class.-J. Thank you for opening faraway places and times to my class through your books. I hope you make these books for all yours and mine’s life.-Riki H. I always read over and over … 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times … -Yuan C. Then I had read all of your books, and now I hope you write lots more.-Danai K. So I read some more, until the book was done. I read a sentence, and it was interesting. One day I was really bored and I didn’t want to read … I looked in your book. There is always magic in your books.-Erica Y. If you stop writing books, it will be like losing a best friend.-Ben M. WOW! You have an imagination like no other.-Adam W. Eight-year-old Jack and his younger sister Annie find a magic treehouse, which whisks them back to an ancient time zone where they see live dinosaurs.
