magic tree house 20 dingoes at dinnertime

As Jack and Annie gave the joey back to his mother, the mother gave something to Jack and Annie. Jack had left his book there so they knew where to go. Jack and Annie ran to where they picked up the baby kangaroo. The fire had gone away, and it began to rain. When they touched it, they heard a noise that came from outside. Jack and Annie felt something cool and odd shaped on the cave wall. Jack, Annie, Teddy, the joey, and the kangaroo were all safe in the cave. On the way there, Annie went to save a koala she saw in a tree earlier. There was a huge forest fire coming towards them. As Jack and Annie were helping the joey, they smelled smoke. The mom was chased away by dingoes, and she naturally dropped the joey to protect him. The kangaroo was a mom because she had a pouch that held a joey. There was a note that told them about Teddy’s curse and how they had to go find a present from a kangaroo to undo the curse. There, they found Teddy, a small dog from their last adventure. They heard barking, so they went to the tree house. Plot: Dingoes at Dinnertime started out with Jack and Annie as usual. These books are also great for a quick read. They work together really well, which reminds me of my brother and I. I also liked the bond between the characters. I used to read these books all the time when I was younger. Personal Response: I enjoyed reading Dingoes at Dinnertime by Mary Pope Osborne, because it reminded me of my childhood. The information put in the books is accurate and has a fun and futuristic idea involved.

I think they are informative but also adventurous to keep the child's attention. This was a WOW book for me because I grew up always reading these books and always loved them. The students would then present their event to myself and the class to tell them about what they learned. They could use the facts from the book and the facts provided at the back of the book, along with their own research.

The students would read the book and then create a project about that event that Jack and Annie visited. I would get the other Magic Tree House books that have them going to different time periods and events in the past. I think if I were to use Magic Tree House books in my classroom I would have it relate to historical events. I think students between grade 2-5 would be able to read these books. They find out about the different animals from the book they have and end up saving animals from a forest fire. In this specific book they travel to Australia and meet different animals in the area. Magic Tree House books include a brother and sister, Jack and Annie, traveling in time to important times in our history.
