The Knight at Dawn (Magic Treehouse #2 Full Color Re-Release) by Mary Pope Osborne –ADVISABLE

Osborne, Mary Pope and Illustrated by Murdocca, Sal The Knight at Dawn (Magic Treehouse #2 Full Color Re-Release) 96 pgs. Random House Books for Young Readers, 2013. $14.99  CHAPTER BOOK Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G.
Its fun to read about Jack and Annie’s early adventures. In this second book, they are still confused about the nature of the magic treehouse. Annie is much more enthusiastic and a bit reckless. Jack goes along for the ride as the voice of reason. They end up in medieval castle and eventually end up swimming the moat!
These full color hardbound re-releases are a great way to freshen up, your no-doubt well read and well loved set of Magic Treehouse books. The illustrations are really fantastic and spread across multiple pages, and the cover is eye catching! Though I should I add, I didn't realize that the author included a mention of prisoner hangings! Would hate to explain that to a first grader.
