Loading... Earthquake in the Early Morningby Mary Pope Osborne
None. I picked this book up expecting to feel brain cells dying as I read it. I was very wrong; I can see why my students enjoy this series so much. It's very well written (albeit extremely simplistic) and interesting. It was an extremely quick read and is educational, to boot! ( )In this story, Jack and Annie go back in time to 1906. They go back to San Fransisco on the morning of the big earthquake that left San Fransisco burning for three days. They are searching for a special writing. Something to lend. As they help a few people trying to save things and get out of the city, Jack and Annie discover their special writing and learn something new. I remembered hearing about learning about earthquakes and what to do in an earthquake as a child. This story could be used to teach students proper procedures in case of natural emergencies. This story could also be used to teach students about sympathy, and hope. My son and I really enjoyed this book. It's part of the Magic Tree House Series and my son really enjoys most of these books. This was one of the better ones we have read together so far. It describes the events of the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. This book is very informational about the earthquake in San Fransisco. Keeps the reader interested, while educating them on a historical event. This is a very good starter chapter book.
