My daughter has started reading the Magic Tree House series. There's somewhere around 40 books in the series. Basically some kids happen upon a tree house with a library in it. When they look in the books and wish they could be there, the world around them changes to match the story. I read the first one, Dinosaurs Before Dark. I give it my parent's approval. It is a good transition from picture books to chapter books. The plot line is simplistic, but exciting (well it was for her, but not for me). There were a few science facts about dinosaurs in the first book, and I imagine there would be something to learn from each of them, but I don't know.
I'm not going to give this book a star rating because I didn't really enjoy it very much, but Belle (age 7) reads them in one sitting and asks for more.
