The Magic Tree House series is about two children who discover a mysterious tree house that acts as a time machine.
The tree house is full of books and when Jack or his little sister Annie open a book, they are transported back into the period the book is about.
In this first title in the series, they are whisked back to prehistoric times after opening a book about dinosaurs.
It is a great adventure story for emerging readers who are looking for easy chapter books with pictures. Once they have read this book, they will be keen to read other titles in the series.
