Thank you Will and Mary Pope Osborne. My 8-year old daughter has always been a fan of the Magic Tree House books and we have always appreciated the educational value of the books. It always was apparent that you had researched the background and facts about the various situations Jack and Annie found themselves in. Sharing the research with your ardent and eager readers is a gift. My daughter devoured the Dinosaurs Research Guide with enjoyment and enthusiasm. She is moved to share her new knowledge with us all. Reading the book has inspired her to continue researching on her own. And, she also says she is looking forward to reading more Research Guides. I highly reccommend this book and any that encourages children to seek and learn on their own.

I loved the book Dinosaurs because it tells me so much about dinosaurs and it is interesting at the same time. It was fun to read. It was written as if by Jack and Annie and I really liked the part where Annie pretended to be a "silly-sourus". I look forward to reading more Mary Pope Osborne Research Guides.

My 6yr old son likes the facts of everything!! He really enjoys reading the story and then picking up the fact book and learning more about the subject! I think these are a great companion to the Magic Treehouse stories with Jack and Annie.

What a wonderful idea. Mary Pope and Will Osborne share the research that they put in to writing "Dinosaurs Before Dark" with their readers in a fun and entertaining way. My 8-year old daughter has devoured this book and "Knights and Castles : A Nonfiction Companion to the Knight at Dawn". These books are not only instructing her on the particular subject of each book, but they are also teaching her how to do research on her own. They also build vocabulary and fill her head with wonderous thoughts and questions. I highly recommend this series to every young reader and their parents.

What a brilliant idea. My Grandson lives in Germany and English is his second language but, The Magic Tree House Books have taught him much, and these research books just add to the charm of the stories and provide more education in a way that Kids like to learn. Just amazing, what a great idea!

This book is actually interesting to read. My son very much prefers fiction over non-fiction, but both of us enjoyed reading this book. It was presented in a more narrative fashion than many non-fiction books and had little notes and such from Jack and Annie throughout tying it to his favorite series. I actually learned a few things reading this to him. Definitely not just another boring dinosaur book. The reading level is probably a year or two higher than the regular series, so while my son reads those books on his own, I read this one to him. I liked it enough that I plan on buying more Fact Tracker books to go along with the stories he is reading.

We love all the research guides for MTH. They are written at a higher Lexile level than the stories but it makes them fun to read together. My 6 year old doesn't have the patience to read through a research guide the entire way through on her own but together it makes for a fun project...she gets to tell me about what happened in the story to Jack & Annie and together we learn some fun facts about whatever time/place the story was about.

This series in fantastic! My daughter sat and read 3 of them through all by herself. She's 8 and in 3rd grade. I would call this series essential to all classrooms second-6th grade. Packed with really interesting info in bite-sized sections.
