This is the book that got me into reading! Jack and Annie have discovered a tree house filled with books. When they open a book, it takes them to a prehistoric time when dinosaurs roamed Earth. Overall, I enjoyed this book and recommend it to people who are interested in dinosaurs. I rate this book 5/5.

This is one of my favorite Magic Tree House books! I love dinosaurs and Henry is my favorite. I am so glad that Jack and Annie got to travel back in time and meet the dinosaurs.

Jack and Annie get whisked straight to the prehistiric past. This is there first book so they are not exactly sure how to get home. Will they be able to figure this out? And before the dinasours get Jack and Annie. Read this book to find out! Thanks for reading my review and, fun and happy reading!

While walking in the woods close to their home in Frog Creek, Pennsylvania, siblings Jack and Annie come across a mysterious tree house filled with books. When Jack opens a book on dinosaurs and wishes that he could see a pteranodon for real, the tree house takes them back to the time of the dinosaurs.

I've watched a movie called ''the Good Dinosaur'' which I loved. This book is about 8 year old Jack and his 7-year-old sister, Annie. They go into their treehouse to discover that they are going back into time to a time of dinosaurs. Along the journey, they meet a flying dinosaur, then named him Henry. Henry is a 12,00-pound flower-eating Triceratops. They also meet a duck-billed dinosaur with a voice like a tuba called an Anatosaurus, and lastly, and a T-rex who could eat a human in a single bite. The only problem is they aren't sure how to get back. I personally have never liked dinosaurs myself.

I 100% love magic tree house books. #AMAZING!!

this is a graet book. it has lots of info. about dinos. the best thing is that it is a sires but with a diffrent topic in each book

I had a techer that would give me these tree house books and i injoyed it

In my opinion, I really like this book. One reason why is it is suspenseful what is going to happen . Another reason why is. it is cool to see what dinosaurs look like . The last reason why is it is a relay cool book . My favorite part is when they find the dinosaur . You might like this book if you like if you like history. You should read this book because it is good history book and you lean a lot.
