Dinosaurs Before Dark / Mary Pope Osborne / 68 pages / First Book in a Series

Magic Tree House #1
When a student asked me if we had any Jack and Annie books in the library, I did not at the time know that he was searching for Magic Tree House books.  Book 1 features seven-year-old Annie and 8 1/2 year old Jack as they find the Tree House in the woods near their home in Frog Creek, Pennsylvania.  The tree house is filled with books.  While looking at a book about dinosaurs, Jack wishes he could see a pteranodon and one magically appears.  The tree house begins to spin and Jack and Annie are magically transported back in time 65 million years.  They encounter a triceratops, an anatosaurus, and a tyrannosaurus rex...and a gold medallion marked with the letter "M".  Books are magic.  They really can take you any where, any time.
