I was pleased with the compacted CD Holder that keeps the CD's nice and neat without taking up a lot of space. My 7 & 8 year olds love the stories and we use them as a reward for when their work is through. Mary Pope Osborne has a talent of writing and telling stories that present history and make you feel as though you're really there. It's relaxing to me as well and nice to know that my kids are learning and being entertained at the same time.
Reinforces vocabulary and listening skills

The Magic Tree House Books, as a series, is excellent for the new, young reader. For boys it is an immediate hook. For girls, it is an important series as it has Annie a strong minded, brave, independent, female lead character. The AUDIO Collection is significant for its listening skills, vocabulary, and expressions. For the young reader it is important to listen to good stories told well and the audio provides that. My children listen to the CDs at bedtime over and over again -- it is soothing, educational, and different!
excellent for those who want to listen and cannot read or for quite time

The cd collection has proven to be very popular in our home of two boys ages 7 and 5. Both like to use the portable cd player and put on the headphones to listen to the stories. They are also great for on the plane with a headset splitter if both want to listen or with individual headphones without the splitter. The whole series of books is excellent (it keeps the attention of the boys) though the story patterns are repetitive. However, my boys do not seem bothered by the repetitive story line as each story has new, interesting information.
Great stories!

These are wonderful stories for young children. They are very entertaining, suspenseful but not scary, and informative. My daughter is always saying, "Daddy, guess what? Did you know..." My only complaint is that some of the stories are often split over two cds.
