Reading Level: Grades 2-3 Interest Level: Grades 2 – 5
Back in 1992, writer Mary Pope Osborne first invited readers to follow Jack and Annie into a tree house with magical books, and readers have been time traveling with these characters ever since! In this biography, elementary students will meet a talented literary travel agent.
'In this short, easy to read biography we learn very basic information about Mary Pope Osborne. The text features compliment the text and some are more interesting than the text itself, like the fact that she planned the Magic Tree House series to be only four books. This would be great as a read aloud for younger students who are learning about text features, while the text is accessible to 2nd and 3rd graders. Readers who love the Magic Tree House series may be interested in learning more about the author.', South Sound Book Review Council, Washington
