This is an excellent example of an early chapter book for beginning chapter book readers. the Magic Tree House books allow the reader to go on adventures with the central characters Jack and Annie to places they normally wouldn't get to go, in this case a one room schoolhouse from the 1870's. The protagonists of the story Jack and Annie are excellent examples of round protagonists becasue the reader is able to understand their thoughts and feelings.  ekean06 | Nov 24, 2009 |  When Jack and Annie travel back to the Kansas prairie in search of "something to learn," they gain an understanding of how hard life was for pioneers and they experience the terror of a tornado. Cottonwood.School | Oct 15, 2008 | The book presented some good facts about life on the prairie in 1870s Kansas. It also had a few good morals to live by: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." and "We must try to hold on to the good memories and let go of the bad ones." As a parent helping my child to read this book, I found it mildly engaging and interesting yet my children found it easy enough to understand and follow. A win-win for everyone! (  ) jewelryladypam | Oct 20, 2007 | This is part of the Magic Tree House series. Jack and Annie have a magic tree house and travel back in time. Here they travel to the prairies during the 1880's. My students *love* these books. ( ) bibliophile26 | Aug 11, 2007 | Another thing that annoys me about these books is that they don't actually have very much information, and it's often included in an artificial format. Kids would learn a lot more from a more traditional historical fiction, book, but anyway... This one involves the kids going to a school in a dugout on a prarie and nearly getting killed (because they have to nearly get killed in every book!) by a tornado. I find it very amusing that the picture of Annie on the front cover has her wearing Kirsten's main outfit (too bad kids reading Magic Tree House books are on M reading levels and can't read American Girl books, which are something like Ts).
