Amazon.com Review
Amazon Best Books of the Month, January 2011: The first Magic Tree House book was written by Mary Pope Osbourne in 1992, introducing young readers to the clever sibling duo, Jack and Annie, and the magical tree house that transports them on important assignments throughout history. Armed only with their courage and a trove of research books, Jack and Annie have delighted and educated young readers with their heroic adventures in time. In Magic Tree House #45: A Crazy Day with Cobras , Jack and Annie set off on a mission to reverse a spell that turned their dear friend Penny into a stone statue. Their adventure begins with a trip to ancient India, where they must find a magical emerald rose. Along the way, Jack and Annie encounter cobras, wild elephants, and a powerful Great Mogul of India. To make it home safely and accomplish their assignment, Jack and Annie must glean knowledge from their research books about the beautiful and exotic -- but also dangerous -- world of ancient India. The duoβs daring journey through an unknown world of wonder will captivate young readers and leave them eager to read the other books in the series. --Jacqueline Segall
