What a sweet and fun introduction.

This was just an adorable little story about Jack and Annie and how they discover a time travelling treehouse (say that three times as fast).

It’s a really great way to introduce young readers to chapter books as well as reading something that’s educational and fun at the same time.

I won’t be continuing on with the series because I’m a little old to properly enjoy it, but I appreciate it for what it is.

Of course, it would have been an amazing when I was a kid. I am glad that it was a very quick read to me. It was pretty cool how the first book was about the dinosaur era. I wonder who had the gold medallion. At times, I related to Jack because of the way he so protective over is sister. My favourite part was when Jack was riding on the Pteranodon. I would love to fly on that dinosaur, but I would feel scared. 

Overall, it was an okay read to me.

I'll only review this one; I avidly read all of this series as a child, but I remember little of it. Does that count? My sister marked them all as read, so I suppose I shall as well, but with that disclaimer.
