Giving Thanks By Sharon Lai on Apr 11, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

"Jack pointed to the cover of the book and said, ‘I wish we could go there'. The wind started to blow. The tree house started to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still."

The Magic Treehouse series by Mary Pope Osborn has spiraled into an incredible series that not only teaches kids about history, but lets them see what it would be like to be in history. This series is a monolithic hit with young children, and there are over forty books in total.

In this next book, Jack and Annie go back in time to the time when the first settlers came from Eurpoe to escape the cold hands of tyranny of the rulers through the ship The Mayflower. You learn about the first Thanksgiving feast, how Squancho taught the first Americans vital rules for survival in the rugged life, and how hard life was to do even the smallest and simplest chores.

This book is much more interesting than a textbook and is so much for fun for kids!
