Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8

Chapters have been fixed on audiobooks now

Any additional comments?

I was nervous buying this on audible due to all the other reviews complaining about poor audio formatting and no chapters. I was glad to see that problem has been fixed and all the content is neatly arranged into chapters now. This volume covers the first 8 books and therefore has 80 audible chapters, 10 for each book, exactly following the printed versions of the book. There is a bonus chapter 81 which is a recorded interview with the author, and was fun to listen.

My daughter loves these books and the audio version has made long car drives so much easier. I find the Magic Tree House series to be easily one of the most well thought-out, educational and imaginative series for children this age. It exposes them to a wide variety of subject matters about history, science, geography in a fun way ... it's pure genius.

Some other reviewer has complained that the books are "formulaic" as if that's a bad thing. This reviewer is completely missing the point of these books. For early readers you want the plot flows to be manageable and just a little predictable so kids can wrap their heads around all the content and new information ... while also learning how to read.

wonderful!!

my children, (ages 8, 5, 3) love audio books. The magic tree house was wonderful for all three. my three year old would even sit quietly when I stated the book. My two older kids loved the storylines. and the magic and mystery. I am so glad we started this series and I look forward to the next set!

GREAT audio for k-3rd grade.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No we listen to 1 book at a time. Great for the kids to listen to 1 book while I cook dinner. just right length.

Any additional comments?

The FORMATTING is HORRIBLE! no book breaks! If the kids want to listen to a book again - say book 1 or book 3 - there is NO WAY to find them again you have to start at the beginning and listen to all 8 till you find the one you want!! duh. we can put a man on the moon, but Audible cant anticipate formatting collections by book title so that kids can re-listen to favorites easily... come on audible fix this!!

Just what we needed...

If you could sum up Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8 in three words, what would they be?

After 3 days in bed with the flu plugged into movies I found this series. My almost 5 year old was just as happy to sit and listen to this story as he was to watch Pixar or Disney movies. Thank goodness I discovered it as we are burning through the series and are still sick 5 days later :) There are pirates, knights, ninja's, the Amazon and so much more. The imagination soars and we unplug from the tv. Its a win/win.

What did you love best about Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8?

My 7 year old daughter loved to listen to these while playing lego's or dolls. Much better than having the tv going in the background. She loves the books and has read them and is now enjoying listening to them over and over.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8?

The trip to prehistoric times was exciting and entertaining.

Any additional comments?

While reading is incredibly important listening and using the imagination is also. This gives the child a different way to use their imagination. Audible books are a great way to encourage development. I also appreciate that Mary Pope Osborne does not use slang. I have found other audible's hard to listen to as they are written in slang or as if a 5-6 year old were speaking. Hearing poor English sets up a pattern for poor speaking in a young mind. I love that this author and this audible did not make me cringe.

What made the experience of listening to Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8 the most enjoyable?

After personally exporting, manually saving every chapter and then resaving broken out by book then burning each story on disc to play for the kids then it was great. The terrible formatting was a huge pain and was the deciding point Not to purchase th next 2 volumes.
