《神奇树屋》是纽约时报畅销榜的常青树,连续占据了160周的位置,20几年来,这套书影响了全世界的孩子,累计销量已过亿册,更是美国、欧洲、日本等国家孩子的必读童书。虽然是黑白插图,但小朋友还是能在故事中读到多采多姿的见解,这些都是大人不见得能够想到的美妙思考。也因此,这个系列入选了美国国家教育协会推荐的世界100部最经典童书。文字简洁精炼,内容引人入胜。
充满无限想象的冒险故事,带孩子在书中游遍世界,神奇树屋描述了一对小兄妹的冒险故事。哥哥Jack,八岁半,喜欢看书,是个理性冷静的小男孩;至于七岁的妹妹Annie,就喜爱幻想与冒险,而且勇于尝试。加入历史、地理知识,以此为起点延伸更多科普话题,Magic Tree House 这个系列的书,除了冒险故事紧张刺激以外,最好的一点就是它们从故事带出很多地理历史的典故,比如泰兰尼克号、庞贝火山爆发的故事、古埃及木乃伊、古罗马奴隶、美国内战、恐龙世界、热带雨林等等……

Back into the Woods
"Let's look again, Jack," said Annie.
Jack and Annie were walking home from the library. The path went right by the Frog Creek woods.
Jack sighed."We looked this morning," he said. "We looked the day before. And the day before that."
"Then you don't have to come," said Annie."I'll go look by myself."
She took off into the woods.
"Annie, wait!" Jack called. "It's almost dark! We have to get home!"
But Annie had disappeared among the trees.
Jack stared at the woods. He was starting to lose hope. Maybe he would never see Morgan again.
Weeks had passed. And there had not been one sign of Morgan le Fay. Nor had there been one sign of her magic tree house.
回到树林
“让我们再看看,杰克,”安妮说。
杰克和安妮从图书馆走回家。 这条路在青蛙溪森林的右边。
杰克叹了口气。“我们今天早上看了看,”他说。 “我们前一天看过。前一天。”
“那你就不用来了,”安妮说,“我自己去看看。”
她飞到了树林里。
“安妮,等等!” 杰克打来电话。 “天快黑了!我们得回家了!”
但是安妮已经消失在树林中了。
杰克盯着树林。 他开始失去希望。 也许他再也见不到摩根了。
几个星期过去了。 摩根勒菲的踪迹也没有。 她的魔法树屋也没有任何迹象。
