Magic Tree House Collection, Books 1-8
by Mary Pope Osborne
This book review is going to be a little different. I’m not going to focus as much on the books themselves, but on my 3 year olds interest in them.
I recently renewed my library card, and saw The Magic Tree House audiobooks, so I decided to check them out for Emmett to listen to. I didn’t realize at the time how much he would love these stories. When I put this on, he would actually come over and either sit in my lap, or ask to breastfeed while he listens to them. He asked questions about what the characters where doing and started repeating what they were saying. I could tell that he was genuinely paying attention to the story. Emmett loved Jack. He kept asking about Jack and what he was doing. He didn’t care as much about Annie, but he absolutely loved Jack’s character.
I’m now going to have to buy the physical copies of these books so he can look at the pictures while we listen along, but I know this series is going to be well loved for years. I remember reading these books when I was a kid, so it’s actually interesting to go back now and listen to them. It definitely gives me Doctor Who vibes. Anyone else think so? I mean a tree house that can travel through time and space?
I highly encourage you to try audiobooks for your child! I didn’t think he would love them only being three, but he loves The Magic Tree House books and looks forward to listening to them. I love that he is getting into chapter books where he will sit and listen for a long period of time, and now it’s a different voice than just me reading to him. I tried a couple of other shorter audiobooks; however, these seem to be his favorite.
