Rereading my childhood favorites now that they're available digitally at the library.

I remember it taking so long to read these books as a child and now it takes fifteen minutes and I'm done.

This is the first book in the Magic Treehouse series. I adored these books as a kid and I had a blast rereading it as an adult. 

In this first book, Jack and Annie stumble upon a tree house in woods near their home in Pennsylvania and get swept off to the time of dinosaurs. It's full of all kinds of great information and an interesting adventure. 

These books are great for kids and a wonderful way to introduce them to a variety of topics.

I love this series since I was a child, because it teaches you something about history, but in an easy and understandable way!
