Book Reviews of Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8
Book Review: GREAT FOR READ ALONG - BOOKS ARE PURCHASED SEPARATE :)
Summary: 4 Stars
These are the first ever audio books that I have ever purchased. I asked a friend who has 2 young boys, which were their favorite children's books, because I was trying to start up a collection. She recommended a few but also told me about another book called "The Read-Aloud Handbook" by Jim Trelease. I was turned off by the title but wanted her to feel like I appreciated her advice lol, so I purchased it and started reading! I was STUNNED! I absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend it to any parent or teacher of any sort. The first half of the book talks about all the different research that has been done, that shows you the profound effect that reading to a child has on their lives. The second half shares some of the best children's books ever written. Now you might be thinking, what does this have to do with The Magic Tree House Books? lol. Well....
The Read Aloud Handbook is where I got the idea to start having my kids listen to audio books in the evening, as they're going to sleep, instead of watching a movie or tv. The set that I was referred to, was several hundred dollars. I was blown away. I instantly started trying to find something less expensive. This is when I found the Magic Tree House audio books. When I first listened to it with my little boy, I was surprised. I had never listened to an audio book and I don't know what I was expecting but not this. It was literally like someone reading a book. lol. I think I was expecting sound effects. I didn't realize that it would be someone saying "let's go. He said. What about this? She said." lol Now, that said! Once I got used to the format of it, I did get interested and my son loves them! So they are a hit! Because it is literally like someone is reading the book word for word, this is why I think it is great for reading along with the actual book in front of you. Perfect for young readers. My son follows every word and it helps him connect the words on the page to the way they sound. The woman who narrates, does do very distinct voices for each character which is wonderful. I think I would love an audio book set even more if it had sound effects. I will have to continue my search! :) But in the meantime, these work! :) I have one happy boy at home.
