They work together really well, which reminds me of my brother and I.
I also liked the bond between the characters. I used to read these books all the time when I was younger.
Personal Response: I enjoyed reading Dingoes at Dinnertime by Mary Pope Osborne, because it reminded me of my childhood. The information put in the books is accurate and has a fun and futuristic idea involved. I think they are informative but also adventurous to keep the child's attention. This was a WOW book for me because I grew up always reading these books and always loved them. The students would then present their event to myself and the class to tell them about what they learned. They could use the facts from the book and the facts provided at the back of the book, along with their own research. The students would read the book and then create a project about that event that Jack and Annie visited. I would get the other Magic Tree House books that have them going to different time periods and events in the past. I think if I were to use Magic Tree House books in my classroom I would have it relate to historical events. I think students between grade 2-5 would be able to read these books. They find out about the different animals from the book they have and end up saving animals from a forest fire. In this specific book they travel to Australia and meet different animals in the area.
