Ok, well, another reviewer pointed out that the number of stories decreased, but the length is the same, and believe it or not he's right. I wrote this before we got them, but after we did I checked how long they played and yep - sure enough, just about the same. The stories are getting longer and so much more imaginitive and fun (if that were possible!). I'd add the other 2 stars if I could, we're happy again :)Why are there only 4 stories on this set for nearly the same price as 8 on the previous three audio CD releases? I'll buy it because my daughter loves them, but I can't say I'm thrilled with paying only $2 less for half the content.
I agree with the other comment 100%. I am dissapointed at such a blatent marketing ploy to charge more money for less content. Done in the best "bait and switch", new and (not) improved tradition. I'll buy it for the same reason, but it is frustrating.
My 7-year-old son loves MTH books. We also own several series of these books as audio CDs which we use in the car as wonderful entertainment for our son "on the road". Mary Pope Osborne did excellent job reading her books and making her creative and educational stories come alive!
My oldest granddaughter loves this series of books. She can now read them herself, but before, we all loved the audío versions. We all would listen while on road trips. They are fun, but also educational.
These CDs are Volume 5 in TMTH set. We enjoy listening to them in the car as we are driving and found out from my 4 1/2 year old's pre-kindergarten teacher that these books are on the Accelerated Reader list for her private christian school. I think it will aid my daughter later when she needs to read these books for AR credit by listening to them now. I think she could probably pass the AR test right now if asked all of the questions. These CDs keep her mind engaged.
I have the audio CD versions of every story 1-24 and 29-32. I can tell you that the stories 29-32 are much longer than any of the books in the first few sets.For example, books 17-24 have a total play time of almost exactly 5 hours compared with books 29-32 with a total story time just over 5 hours. So, you get 50% less "books", but the same story reading time.I am just purchasing this set 25-28 now, and I do not yet know the running time of these stories. But.. you should evaluate the hours of audio enjoyment, not just the number of books when making your comparisons. Perhaps will add this information to the details, or perhaps I just missed it.
My granddaughters live in China & have quite a commute to school each day. They listen to these audio books quite often. I became aware of the Magic Tree House books a few years ago as I was mentoring a second grader. He and I looked forward to reading these books together each week. They are a fun, and enlightening way to learn about the history of the world. I am so glad they offer the audio as well. A definite recommend....
Bought one of the other series for grandson (7yrs old) last year. When Santa's letter came this year the series on cd's was one of the first items on the list. I will continue to purchase for birthdays and holidays which will make the long rides from New Mexico to Cincinnati and back more enjoyable. The 5 year old granddaughter also loves them. Thanks , for making them affordable and available.
