Magic Tree House #1 __Dinosaurs Before Dark__ By: Mary Pope Osborne

This book is about a brother and sister named Jack and Annie that find a mysterious tree house in the Frog Creek Woods. They have never seen this tree house so Annie goes into it to see it and they start to look at the books that are in there. Jack looks at a dinosaur book and wishes he could see a real live Pteranodon and then Annie sees one right outside the tree house window. They end up in the age of the dinosaurs and see different dinosaurs like the Triceratops. They experience many strange things while they are trying to return home to Frog Creek, Pennsylvania.

I expecially liked the characters Jack and Annie in this book because they made the book entertaining. Jack is always trying to stop Annie from getting them into even more trouble than they already are and this was very funny to me.

I would personally recommend this book to any age. Also I would recommend it to people who like to read adventure books and also fictional books. I really likes this book and if you read this book you will want to read the ENTIRE series. There are many books in this series and I have read a few and they are very interesting and like no books i have ever read!
