This is one of the best books I have ever read (and I have all of them!) The coolest part is when Jack and Annie leaped on the horse for a ride to the treehouse where they were safe and sound! I like your books so much that I gave them to my friends as birthday presents, and now they enjoy them too! I hope you keep on writing!
The first person to review this book said that it included an erroneous fact that women were indeed allowed to participate in the ancient Olympics. Actually, at first women were not permitted to participate, nor were they allowed to be spectators until the 2nd century A.D. They did, however, have their own festival at Olympia called the Heraia with the only sporting event being a short race. In Sparta, a state in southern ancient Greece, girls were encouraged to take part in sports and games (Olympics, Oxlade and Ballheimer; Eyewitness Books, 1999). So, the information provided in this book is actually factual.
"Hour Of The Olympics" is good because of the ways you learn about the Olympics, and the Olympic events, plus the legend of Pegasus, the flying horse. So amazing, I almost applauded so loud my neighborhood could hear me. Trust me, you can't miss out on this one.
My son loved this book. Magic Tree House is one of the best chapter book series. As a parent, I can trust that each book will have something very educational, free of bad language, as well as, bad content! Great book according to a 9 year old little boy!!!
The book you are going to read about is called Hour of the Olympics. Mary Pope Osborne wrote it and she is a great writer. This story is about the first Olympic game. The two main characters are named Jack and Annie. This book comes from a series of books, so this is only one adventure. The problem in this story is that Jack and Annie are at the first Olympics and no girls are allowed. Annie sneaks in and gets caught. Can Jack get her out of this mess? To find out you will have to read Hour of the Olympics.
The last Magic Tree House that I read was Hour of the Olympics. I liked it because it had a lot of interesting facts about the early olympics. I thought it was funny that some people wore armor when they ran in races! I suggest that you read this book!
These Magic Tree House books are a lovely way for children to learn a bit about history, but in a fun story format.In this book, Annie and Jack go back to Ancient Greece and get caught up in the Olympics. Initially, unmarried women were not allowed to watch the men's Olympic Games. Annie needs to make sure she is not discovered and when things get a bit tricky, Pegasus comes to Annie's and Jack's rescue.Don't forget the Magic Tree House Fact Tracker #10: Ancient Greece and the Olympics: A Nonfiction Companion to Magic Tree House #16: Hour of the Olympics book which goes hand-in-hand with this book and provides more historical information on Ancient Greece. Another book that also provides historical information on the Olympic Games in a fun time travel manner is the The Olympic Adventure: Magic Necklace Series (Volume 1)
As an adult reading this book aloud to the children after studying the ancient Olympics in school with them this week, I was disappointed in the lack of depth and information in this book. The adventure felt extremely short and the lack of suspense was frankly, pathetic! All Jack and Annie got to do/see was see some acting, meet up with Plato, see the beginning of a chariot race and fly off on Pegasus.There are SO many more interesting facts about the ancient Olympics that could have been intertwined into this fictional story. Other than Plato, there were was no interaction with any of the other people of the time. If you are looking for a mediocre story then this will work for you but if you are looking for something "meatier" then I recommend giving this a miss.
