Dingoes at dinnertime Book

Magic Tree House books include a brother and sister, Jack and Annie, traveling in time to important times in our history. In this specific book they travel to Australia and meet different animals in the area. They find out about the different animals from the book they have and end up saving animals from a forest fire. I think students between grade 2-5 would be able to read these books.

I think if I were to use Magic Tree House books in my classroom I would have it relate to historical events. I would get the other Magic Tree House books that have them going to different time periods and events in the past. The students would read the book and then create a project about that event that Jack and Annie visited. They could use the facts from the book and the facts provided at the back of the book, along with their own research. The students would then present their event to myself and the class to tell them about what they learned. This was a WOW book for me because I grew up always reading these books and always loved them. I think they are informative but also adventurous to keep the child's attention. The information put in the books is accurate and has a fun and futuristic idea involved.
