Not a bad end to that particular story line. I had fun with the riddles in this set, although this last one was harder because it wasn't easily guessed before getting into the story.

I picked this book up expecting to feel brain cells dying as I read it. I was very wrong; I can see why my students enjoy this series so much. It's very well written (albeit extremely simplistic) and interesting. It was an extremely quick read and is educational, to boot!

Jack and Annie went to the Arctic and they saw polar bears. They saw a seal hunter and huskies.

In my opinion the book “Polar Bears Past Bedtime” by Mary Pope Osborne is an engaging chapter book for young students to read. First, the plot is organized and well paced allowing students to make predictions about what will happen in the story. For example, when Jack hears an owl hooting at

his window young students may be able to predict that they are going to soon go to the magic tree house for an adventure. Second, the book pushes readers to think about factual information of the arctic as well as the characteristics of the region. “The word ‘igloo’ means ‘house’ in the language of native Arctic people. The house is built with blocks of snow.” This gives readers insight about the Arctic while telling certain things you may find there. The big idea of the book “Polar Bears Past Bedtime” revolves around the Arctic and teamwork to solve adventures!

The children's book, Polar Bears Past Bedtime taught me a lot about the arctic. The Magic Tree House series has very educational books but these books present educational information in such a fun and engaging way for children. I also really like how at the end of the book, the author lists

Summary:
There's always a fun adventure when it comes to the Magic Tree House series. In this book Annie and Jack go on an adventure to the Arctic! Once they arrive they meet a seal hunter who helps them through the cold tundra and educates them on everything in the arctic. Annie and Jack get separated from the seal hunter and encounter some polar bears as well as cracking ice. Will they use what they learned from the seal hunter to get back to safety or will they become polar bear dinner?

I liked the book “Polar Bears Past Bedtime”. One aspect I liked about this book was the writing. The writing was very descriptive and flowed really well. “The snowdrifts looked like giant white sculptures as the sun slipped behind the frozen hills. Then a full orange moon rose in the sky.”

Another aspect I liked about this book was the few illustrations it had. The illustrations accurately portrayed what Jack and Annie were doing. The big idea of this book is to allow for adventure. Jack and Annie go on many adventures throughout the night.

My grandson loved this book.

He’s in preschool so I read it to him, and he stayed still for the entire book. He’s saying “mush mush mush” when he plays now, so I know he was listening carefully.
