Have you ever heard of Jack and Annie? Well, Jack and Annie found a magic tree house and ever since they travel to places from a long time ago. Now, on their fourth trip, they travel to the time of pirates. Will Jack and Annie ever get home? Or will they walk the plank?
I love this book, because pirates are my hobby and I love Magic Tree House books. A hobby is something you like to do. I like to play with toy pirates and I want to learn more about pirates.
My favorite part is when Jack and Annie are on the pirate ship because I have three Playmobil toy pirate ships. I move them by hand and I talk to them. The book gave me a good scene, with words and pictures, for next time I play with my pirates.
Jack and Annie are interesting, because they have something that nobody else has ? a magic tree house. If I had one, I?d travel to the time of the pirates and attack them. I would wear a sword, ax, pistol and clothes like a pirate wears.
The pictures are black and white so you can make up your own colors. I like the part when it says "Leaves, branches, puddles, bushes, grass, vines, wildflowers ? all glittered like jewels. Or gleamed like gold." I can just imagine it. I would feel rich.
If you like pirates, I?ve got the book for you! I recommend this book to people six through nine. If you want to find out if Jack and Annie go home, I recommend this book to you.
