"Read this with my six year old and we had a good time together. Our family visited Pompeii a few years ago and although my kids to not remember most of it, we have several pictures of them and many of the sites that Mary Pope Osborne describes in this enjoyable book. My older two kids have read this book and it is fun to show them that they were right were Jack and Annie had to travel to. The Magic Tree House series is great for boys and girls in pre-school all the way through elementary as our 5th grader is re-reading all of them." — Chad (4 out of 5 stars)
