Who is Mary Pope Osborne

Ranked #5,556 in Books, Poetry & Writing, #201,694 overall

Author of The Magic Tree House Series

My son loves the Magic Tree House books. We have most of the series in our library. He loves to curl up on the couch and read them together. I used to read them to him, then he read half and I read half. Now he does most of the reading, and I get to kick back and listen to the story.

I love Mary Pope Osborne for her ability to create books that inspire children to read. She opens the door of adventure to young children, and teaches them a little about history and the world around them along the way.

Three reasons my son love's Mary Pope Osborne

1. When we finish a book he wants to read it again.

2. When you start the book you're transformed to a magical world.

3. He loves to be able to go all the places Jack and Annie go.

    My son and I love the Magic Tree House Books!! I'd never heard of the Tales From The Odyssey series before today though! Are they for about the same age range? I'll have to check them out! Thanks for the great lens!

    We LOVE Mary Pope Osborne! Did you know she wrote a children's version of The Odyssey? My grade-schoolers were rapt as we read those aloud. She's a wonderful author! 5***** and lensrolled to children's author Eloise Jarvis McGraw.

    My children were all enchanted by Mary Pope Osborne's books. They are great little chapter books as children begin to take off into independent reading.

    Another great lens!
