This book is about getting the fourth gift to break Teddy's spell.  They go to Australia, and help a Joey and a Koala and learn a tiny bit about Dreamtime. However, it isn't explained that Koala's are not sweet and cuddly or that Kangaroos can be dangerous.  I like the story, but this was not the best Magic Tree House Book in the way of information for little kids.
