Author 33: Mary Pope Osborne & Fact based Fiction

43 fiction books out in the Magic Tree House series
21 Magic Tree House Research Guide books
Website at: www.marypopeosborne.com
Just be aware that the website is a bit out of date in spots.
The books are based upon historical facts but are easily accessible for children.
A more updated site can be found through Random House at: http://www.randomhouse.com/kids/magictreehouse/
We have many of the books but decided to show the picture from the Sabertooths and the Ice Age guide written by Mary Pope Osborne and her sister, Natalie Pope Boyce. These are some of the best books to introduce children to history in a fun, fact-filled, learning-without-realizing-it way.
