Dinosaurs Earlier Dark (Magic Tree House Serial #i) by Mary Pope Osborne,

A expert transition into chapter books for the new reader.

While formulaic, predictable, and not particularly clever, this series serves the purpose of providing adventure at a fast moving footstep for the new to chapter book set. The predictable nature of these books adds to their entreatment as it makes them easier to cover and also helps them stay familiar. Kids of this age can be hands daunted by books and tend to be drawn to the familiar. This would as well be a good read aloud for a younger child.
The first book in the series, Dinosaurs makes a swell introduction to the set. It has plenty of suspense and a adequately simple, yet exciting plot. There is likewise the improver of accurate dinosaur facts that contribute to further learning without it seeming contrived.The master characters, Jack and Annie, are a boy and a girl, without too stiff of a focus on either, so this book is highly-seasoned to both genders. While missing the humor and cleverness of other books for this historic period grouping, information technology even so delivers on action, adventure and suspense.
School Library Periodical
Gr 1-3-- This enjoyable time-travel fantasy is a successful beginning chapter book. Jack and his younger sister find a tree house filled with books. When he wishes he could really come across the Pteranodon pictured in one of them, information technology appears at the window. The children have been transported dorsum to the Cretaceous catamenia. They begin to explore and are shortly threatened by a Tyrannosaurus. The Pteranodon comes to their rescue, and they effigy out enough well-nigh the magic that carried them dorsum in time to be able to use information technology to return dwelling. There is plenty of suspense and magic here, and enough dinosaur information to please science buffs. Label is sketchy and older children volition find the plot predictable, but readers just by the piece of cake-to-read phase will discover it satisfying. It should concenter those who devour Ruth Chew'due south books. --Louise L. Sherman, Anna C. Scott School, Leonia, NJ

Exactly my thoughts on the book!

Each 1 takes Jack and Annie into the pages of a new book. We accept learned nigh (and wanted to investigate further) mummies, space, ghost towns, a player piano, sabertooth tigers, Africa and more. They are a perfect fictional introduction to about any subject.

For first read-aloud chapter books, they are really great also considering they don't deal with schoolhouse or interpersonal relationships betwixt friends, teachers, older kids, etc. that a preschooler doesn't have the ability to relate to even so. We have had several other chapter books here, just they were above his head. Not vocabulary (these take great vocab words), but in situation. I also love that these have neat adventures that with both a male and female protagonist and situations that both boys and girls could chronicle to and love.

Organized into x brusk chapters, with a full-page illustration per chapter, this is a highly highly-seasoned story for early readers. The text is clear and concise, with a fairly simple vocabulary just with characters and plot that will continue readers hooked. The black and white illustrations are simple, helping readers to visualize the characters and action, while the text tells the bulk of the story. Considering the story features a brother and sister, both boys and girls tin find a protagonist to place with. Annie likes fantasy and make-believe, while Jack is more interested in reality and facts. These personality traits drive the activeness, as Annie acts impulsively while Jack stands dorsum and makes careful observations almost the dinosaurs. This would be a great introduction to the chapter book format, and the length and diversity of the serial will allow readers to come dorsum again and again to run across where the tree house takes the children adjacent.

School Library Journal's review is choppy and relies primarily on plot description, only does point out the scientific content which would hook dinosaur fans. Publisher's Weekly is enthusiastic about the book's appeal to children, and nicely points out the way Jack continues to consult the dinosaur book for information throughout the story.

August 2018 - we read the get-go half aloud, and listened to the whole thing again on CD. Ben was really interested and wants to continue going with the series.

October 2018 - he found this again, nosotros read the second half out loud, and he wanted me to start once more at the start immediately. He'due south also re-listening to the CD. Update - we're on our 4th reading and between that and the audiobook, he practically has it memorized.

This is a beautiful, inoffensive footling adventure story that winds up offending me anyway simply by being present in the world. What sort of a grump am I, eh?

I was looking for something a little easier for my dyslexic girl. She'd been struggling with some bigger books, and she needed a burst of conviction to help her go back to where she wanted to be, then I found this volume, saw how easy information technology was and brought it dwelling house for her.

Mission accomplished: she blew through it, had fun, and moved directly back to a more difficult book with her confidence restored. For that, Dinosaurs in the Dark's practical use, it earns a second star (if there were no mitigating circumstances, I'd only give information technology one star).

So why am I then offended? I'one thousand offended because I know talented authors, plenty of them, who can't get their stuff published, and their stuff is proficient stuff. I've had the pleasure, for case, to read the beginning of one of Scribble Orca's books, and in its "in procedure" state, her book is vastly superior to Dinosaurs Before Dark. Her volume is original; her relationships are realistic; the stakes are conceivable even in her fantastic setting, whereas Mary Pope Osborne'southward volume is none of these things. It is fine, but information technology is an elementary school student's paint by numbers picture show, and not a terribly complex pigment by numbers picture at that. And then that's where the offense lies: talented friends (or talented folks I don't know) can't become a sniff of publication (and are forced to the ghetto of cocky-publication), but hackosaurids, however good intentioned, live their "dream" of writing for a living -- when that happens I can barely contain my bileousness.

Then this book? This book should be bound in a soft folder, maybe put together with brads, and brought out for Osborne's children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren, passed on within a family and nothing more. Like and then many more deserving authors books are destined to be.

Great to read out loud to my iv year old. He both loves and is scared of dinosaurs but said he liked information technology and immediately asked if we could read another volume so that was encouraging. This is the showtime chapter book I've read to him and he was able to easily proceed up with plot, characters, and where we left off as well as talk nearly what might happen next and asking questions. I'll probably order him a couple more than in the serial and see if he likes the books or the dinosaur part better.

Well, I know it wouldn't work for them to go to their mom and have their mom preclude them to become back in time. That would kind of ruin the series. But the author could have just left information technology unsaid that they wouldn't tell anyone. It doesn't teach a good lesson for 2 kids to concord not to tell adults something important.

I read this book with my six year old son. He was very excited to get the beginning Magic Tree House book and I was very curious since I have heard a ton about this series. This is a great read for younger children and children just learning to read.

Jack and Annie find a magic tree business firm in the forest near their house. When they get up in the tree business firm they find it's filled with books. When Jack takes down a book near Dinosaurs and starts to read it when him and Annie are magically transported to a country filled with dinosaurs.

This was a very short beginning affiliate book suitable for young kids. The plot is straightforward, still still engaging, interesting, and magical. Commencement readers should exist able to follow along and even read some of their beginning sight words throughout.

I would classify this mainly as an adventure book with elements of magical realism (since they travel from a magic tree firm).

Each chapter has a couple pages of pictures, so this makes wonderful transition volume between picture books and affiliate books. The pictures are well done and fun.

The book is too a bit educational since the book Jack brings along on their fourth dimension traveling trip has interesting facts about Dinosaurs in it.

The story seems to be aimed a chip more than at young boys because Jack is really the master graphic symbol. Merely Annie is in that location too (his younger sister) and girls should detect information technology easy to appoint with her graphic symbol as well.

Overall my son really enjoyed this book. Information technology was a flake too simple for an adult, but I didn't mind reading it and thought the story was decent. Definitely recommended for reading with young children, or for children who are set to transition to reading beginning chapter books on their own. I am glad that we picked this upwards and foresee many more Magic Tree House books in our future!

This was a fairly easy to read book though the names of the dinosaurs did trip upwards my son. He had a fairly easy time keeping upwardly with what was happening in the book and did enquire some questions (like what was a magnolia). The chapters were not overly long then it made information technology like shooting fish in a barrel to read i or 2 at a time without him becoming overly bored/tired. When I asked him if he liked the book he told me he wasn't sure. I recollect this had more to practice with his problems communicating emotions than having to do with the book itself.

For me I found the book to be fun. I was too old when these books first came out merely I have been aware of their popularity. My stepdaughter never read them and this was my beginning fourth dimension reading one. I enjoyed the simplicity of it with it not being bogged downward in descriptions and world building. It is expert for children who are but starting to transition to chapter books. With only x chapters information technology is easy for them to manage.

I look forward to reading more books in the serial and hope my son will join me in reading them.
