Magic Tree House Book 1 -guest review

The book Dinosaurs Before Dark was great!
The kids are walking through forest and they find a tree house. Annie climbs up the tree house and Jack doesn't want to go in he calls Annie a few times. She pokes her head out of the window. Jack and Annie look at books. Jack looks in a dinosaur book. He sees a picture of a pteranodon. He says "I wish I could see a real pteranodon " The tree house spins really fast. Then they stop silent.
Then Annie said "Ahhh look there's the monster." Jack looked out the window and saw a real live pteranodon.
Annie climb down the ladder. Jack said "Annie what are you nuts." But she still climbed down. She got on the ground close to the pteranodon. She was petting him telling Jack the pteranodon was nice. Jack climbs down the ladder says "oh man" and then pets the pteranodon.
He thought about scientist write down what they did so Jack starts writing down notes like a scientist. Then they see a real live triceratops. Jack won't let Annie go close to it, talk to it, or pet it, but she didn't listen. Jack found a gold medallion The triceratops walked away.
Annie climbs a hill to pick flowers then they see a bunch of duck billed dinosaurs in mud nests.
Then they see a mama duckbill dinosaur. Nothing happens in that part.
Annie says "Jack you forgot your pack on the hill" he runs back to the hill and sees a real t-rex. He sees the T-rex open and close his teeth, the teeth were as big as Jacks arms. Jack says "Think don't panic." Then the T-rex roars and Jack booms to the ground then the pteranodon puts his shadow over Jack. The pteranodon comes down to get Jack but Jack is worried he is too heavy. The pteranodon picks him up and Jack holds on tight. After the flight he came to the tree house. Jack felt a little dizzy then he said "I wish we could go back home." Then the tree house spinned really really fast then it was silent. They heard their mother calling and they yelled "Be there in a minute."
Annie asked what happened when he was with the t-rex. Jack said he found medallion and it had a M and Annie thought M stands for Magic person and the tree house must belong to a magic person.
The End!
Oh-- they are going to go back to the tree house the next day.
Daddy and I read 2 chapters every night. There were 10 chapters! The next book we will read is The Knight At Dawn.
*I should say something funny like the views and opinion expressed in this post are those of the reviewer and not the opinions of the blog owner BUT it would be a lie. Anything that makes a kid want to read is ok with me!! Plus it could be so cheesy that it isn't funny and we all know how hilarious I am without help.
Not a bad book report for a 5 year old. I have no idea how accurate it is to the story but he certainly kept me entertained.*

He's amazingly close on everything. The time line is right, he even used some of the exact words. That's amazing. I think more excitingly is that he read this with me. I didn't just read to him. He read the first two lines on almost every page in the book.
Caleb loves these bookes. He got a gift card for Christmas to Barnes and Noble that we will be using to buy the 2nd book and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We are also going to get the companion guide to the Dinosaur book.
