Activity Description:
The Magic Tree House Adventure is designed to be an eye-popping station that will excite students about reading. The station includes four substations where students will be able to write a play using provided props, journal about their experiences in reading, learn the difference between fiction and nonfiction, and explore the world with a Google Trek documenting Jack and Annie's adventures around the world. One of the coolest features of the tree is that students can actually sit within the tree with their favorite books for a snug reading spot.

So what books should you read in your lovely treehouse? We recommend some of these!
