Magic Tree House, Book 16: Hour of the Olympics Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Esha & I read this together. Great book for her! I love this series for kids. We chose this as our read together since it is an Olympiad summer. "

" I loved these books when I was in 2nd grade. "

" Back then girls where treated like dust! :( "

" This was the absolute best book i have ever read "

" The Magic Tree House books are wonderful for teaching all kinds of topics. This one is about Jack and Annie, two adventurous friends, who travel back to the very first olympics and witness the games first hand. "

" Another Magic Tree House, #17 - my kids enjoy them but they are getting rather predictable. Emily liked that Pegasus was in this story, and Robbie liked hearing that girls were not allowed at the Olympics in ancient Greece. I do like how a few facts are thrown into these books so children can learn. "

" Mary Pope Osborne covers Plato, Pegasus and equality all at a level kids can understand and get excited about in this adventure when Jack and Annie travel back to the first Olympic games. It makes one long to have a Master Librarian card :D "

" The Boy liked it. "

" I like this book because the brother and sister rides a horse that is like a unicorn. "

" I thought that it was not fair that Anne wasn't aloud to go to the olympics.She was a good sport about it though. "

" No girls are allowed in the Olympic games, but when the magic tree house takes Annie and Jack back to the ancient times Annie is up to something. Annie tells Jack to go ahead with out her. Annie figures out how to get in the games just before they are sent back to present day. "

" See the first book in the series for a full review. "

" One of my faves in the series! =] "

" This is another wonderful magic tree house book. I was interested in this one since it is about sports. "

" I loved it because I like the Olympics. I read it in one day! "

" Natasha loves these. "

" I like this book. I thought the author did an excellent job of using a story that would engage children while teaching facts about ancient Greece. I also thought the way she had Jack take notes could help the new reader think about what is important and worth remembering. "

" One of my favorites in the Magic Tree House series! Great for children to experience the magic of reading while still learning new facts. "

" Magic Tree House books are cute. The olympics are neat thing. I think this gives a chance to understand what they really are! "

" The students got mad that girls weren't allowed to do anything in Ancient Greece! Good for them. "

" I really liked how these books help you know history! "

" I think this book is not fair because no girls are alowed in the stadim.NOT FAIR! "

" fun when ur bored "

" Wonderful children's book. Perfect for the classroom, maybe Grade 1/2. Focuses on about 7 or 8 specific facts & incorporates them into an interesting context. "

" These books have good kid appeal which is the only reason I give it 3 stars. My kids love them--but I find them truly mindnumbing. Great individual reading to supplement learning about ancient Greece--but don't torture yourself with the audio version of any of these books. "

" I can't belive that no girls were allowed at the olympics doing sports and boy are! "

" this book is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! So vote for it. ps.its 10 chpt "

" I absolutely LOVED the series when I was a kid, and I still do! I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy / adventure books!! :) "

" Jack and Annie's 4th Mission is to go to Greece to retrieve a poem about Pegasus written by a woman/girl. In Ancient Greece it was a death penalty for a woman to read or write. Women/girls were not allowed to learn, to watch the Olympic Games or even participate. "

" This is another wonderful magic tree house book. I was interested in this one since it is about sports. "

" i read this when i was younger. "

" From my 7 year old daughter Jewell.I learned that girls weren't allowed to do a lot of things during the ancient Olympics. Also there were games that we still have today. All the athletes prayed to a statue of Nike before they competed in the games. "

" I really liked this book! "

" I like this book. I thought the author did an excellent job of using a story that would engage children while teaching facts about ancient Greece. I also thought the way she had Jack take notes could help the new reader think about what is important and worth remembering. "

" I like this one because it is about the Olympics, but its not about my favorite kind of Olympics: the Winter Olympics. It was the old day Olympics. "

" The Magic Tree House books are wonderful for teaching all kinds of topics. This one is about Jack and Annie, two adventurous friends, who travel back to the very first olympics and witness the games first hand. "

" It had a lot of games in it and very magical. "

" My son wanted me to read this. It's not the best Magic Treehouse to date. Actually a bit disappointing. "

" Jack and Annie go to ancient Greece and see the first Olympics. Morgan Le Fay sent them to find a Greek story. They got to fly on a pegasus and met Plato, a lover of wisdom. My favorite part was their ride on the pegasus. "
