Book Review#7 Magic Tree House#1 Dinosaurs Before Dawn

From now on I’m going to write about the Magic tree house series as the book reviews. First of all, this Magic Tree House is kind of Magic school bus series. It takes people to the different places and to the different era. The first book I read is the first story about this tree house.

The main character is Jack and Annie. There’re brother and sister and one day they found a tree house that they haven’t seen it before. They climbed up the ladder by curiosity. In the house there was full of books. He took a book on his hand and it was written about prehistoric animals. He wished he could go to that era. Then the tree house began to spin and they were gone to prehistoric era, 65 million years ago. They met a flying dinosaur called Pteranodon and named him Henry. The sister had a talent to talk to the dinosaur. They became friends. Then they also met Triceratops and Anatosauruses. They watched them very carefully but they saw a T-Rex coming. They ran to the tree house and tried to go back to the normal era but it was useless. This is because he forgot his books. He sneaked to get back the books from getting unknowed from T-Rex but the way back to the tree house he got founded. Soon the sister talked to Pteranodon to help his brother. This flying dinosaur flew straight forward to Jack and rescued him. Now they could get back to their own era.

I recommend this book because it’s very easy to read and not too long. I could read it in 20 minutes or so.
