Jack and Annie Come to Evergreen

The mythical town of Frog Creek, Pennsylvania is the setting of fifty-two adventurous stories about a brother and sister - Jack and Annie.  Sitting atop a large oak tree, Jack and Annie are whisked to far away places while reading inside their magical tree house. Being only seven and eight years old, these two explorers utilize reading as a gateway through both time and space.

Mary Pope Osborne, the author of the Magic Tree House Series, has written books that introduce young readers to historical fiction and non-fiction themes. Topics ranging from dinosaurs, to knights, to mummies, to pirates, to ninjas, to dolphins, to polar bears, to vikings, and even to Abraham Lincoln are investigated and enjoyed.


On March 4, 2015 beginning at 5:30 pm., Jack and Annie will actually make their way to Evergreen Avenue School for our Magic Tree House-themed Family Reading Night!  All Evergreen families are invited to come out and explore rooms that have been transformed based upon the theme of a particular Magic Tree House book. Crafts will be made, stories will be read, prizes will be awarded, and certainly adventures will be had.  Our PTO will also host a book fair in the all-purpose room making all the popular and latest titles available to students for purchase.

Please be sure to come out and enjoy the night with friends and family!

Evergreen students - in the comment section below, I would like to know which Magic Tree House book is your favorite? Why do you like that one so much?

    My favorite Magic Tree House book is the first one: Dinosaurs Before Dark. I was obsessed with dinosaurs when I was in elementary school, so reading about Jack and Annie’s visit to the “dinosaur time” was fun! My son’s favorite Magic Tree House book is #4: Night of the Ninjas. (It’s probably because he believes he is a ninja!)

    I've never read magic tree house books, but I would like to. I think your story was great. If I ever have a choice to read them, it would be Winter of The Ice Wizard because I love frozen.

    I really do like your blog! In second grade Ms. Frazier always read us those books. My favorite book is Haunted Castle on Hallow's Eve. I like it because ghosts were doing things and Jack and Annie were spooked. Then a bone was chasing them. I can't wait to read your next blog.

    Hey Dr. V. I really enjoyed reading your blog. It was very good. I would like to check out some of the Magic Tree House books, but the ones I really want to read are Stallion by Starlight, Tigers at Twilight, and Winter of the Ice Wizard. They sound good! That's why I want to read them so much. Maybe on day you can check them out if you haven't read them yet.

    I really liked your blog entry. One thing I wasn't good at was football when I was little and I grew and started being a superstar by doing a lot of hard work and putting in lots of effort to become an MVP. Readers workshop, doing sticky notes, and homework make us better students.
