Editorial Reviews

Number eleven in the "Magic Tree House" series, this title follows Jack and Annie on another adventure. On the way home from the store, Jack and Annie spot a strange looking deer near their home. As they follow it into the woods, they come upon the Magic Tree, the source of all their adventures, and they are met by Morgan le Fay, their goddess of knowledge. She supplies the riddles that need to be answered by Jack and Annie. This latest story transports Jack and Annie to Africa. They have a series of adventures with various plains animals; a lion, wildebeests, hyenas, elephant, giraffe, and a honey guide, a bird who helps natives find honey. The text also includes some paragraphs that feature facts about the African plains. Some black and white drawings are included.
