Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Magic Tree House Collection is Wonderful
My daughter loves the books and wants to have them read to her almost every night.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Entertaining Books
Grandson has read all the books but doesn't have copies of them, so I purchased them for him.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great series for beginning readers
