Magic Tree House Books



I know many children love the Magic Tree House books by Mary Pope Osborne. I went looking to see how one could create a curriculum using these books. I was thrilled when I found the Magic Tree House Classroom Club.

I've copied and pasted the information from their homepage below. Ignore all the 'teacher' and 'classroom' speak and see it as an inexpensive unit study or curriculum.

This is taken directly from their website:
"Welcome to the Magic Tree House Classroom Club!
The Magic Tree House series has been trusted by educators for over fifteen years! Our free Classroom Club offers you teachers guides by unit, printer-friendly activity sheets, an educational planner, and writing tips from Mary Pope Osborne herself.

Sign up for the Magic Tree House Classroom Club newsletter today and you will be the first to know about new books, resources, and author tour information.
