Last night, they listened to this book while they fell asleep! Note: I updated this post in August 2022 to include in my timeline list all the Magic Tree House books that had been published after November 2010. Dishes are in the dishwasher, laundry is in the washing machine, dinner is on the stove, one kid is playing LEGOs while the other kid reads on the couch, and the house that Matt painstakingly straightened while we were gone is trashed, trashed, TRASHED. We must be home again! We left a few projects in the lurch for our trip--our bat house, the thankful tree, the Disaster Dioramas of Pompeii and the Titanic, a whole slew of Spanish flashcards--and every now and then, as the kids decompress and I continue my manic run through the holiday craft fair season, we're picking them all back up again. For instance, we finally finished a project that we've been working on for a while--putting all the Magic Tree House books in their proper spot on our huge basement timeline. Because the kids listen to the Magic Tree House audiobooks over and over again, they've gained quite a bit of historical and geographical knowledge, but it can be tough putting that into a wider context, and wider contexts is what I am all about. So I sent Matt thumbnails of every Magic Tree House book cover for him to lay out and print, and I made a list of where each relevant book belongs on our timeline. Want to see my list? It's pretty great: #1 Dinosaur Before Dark--Cretaceous period #2 The Knight at Dawn--Middle Ages #3 Mummies in the Morning--2630 BCE to 2250 BCE #4 Pirates Past Noon--1690-1730 #5 Night of the Ninjas--1336-1600 #7 Sunset of the Sabertooth--Late Pleistocene period #8 Midnight on the Moon--2036 #10 Ghost Town at Sundown--1850-1900 #13 Vacation under the Volcano--79 CE #14 Day of the Dragon King--first century #15 Viking Ships at Sunrise--9th century #16 Hour of the Olympics--776 BCE-393 CE #17 Tonight on the Titanic--1912 #18 Buffalo before Breakfast--1850-1900 #21 Civil War on Sunday--1861-1865 #22 Revolutionary War on Wednesday--12/25/1776 #23 Twister on Tuesday--1870s #24 Earthquake in the Early Morning--1906 #25 Stage Fright on a Summer Night--1558-1603 #27 Thanksgiving on Thursday--1621 #28 High Tide in Hawaii--11th century-1777 #29 A Big Day for Baseball--1947 #30 Hurricane Heroes in Texas--1930 #31 Warriors in Winter--100s CE #32 To the Future, Ben Franklin!--1787 #33 Narwhal on a Sunny Night--975-990 #34 (old numbering--now it's Merlin Mission #6) Season of the Sandstorms--prior to the 8th century #34 Late Lunch with Llamas--15th century #35 (old numbering--now it's Merlin Mission #7) Night of the New Magicians--1889 #35 Camp Time in California--1903 #36 (old numbering--now it's Merlin Mission #8) Blizzard of the Blue Moon--1938 #37 Dragon of the Red Dawn--1185-1603 #38 Monday with a Mad Genius--around 1500 #39 Dark Day in the Deep Sea--1870s #41 Moonlight of the Magic Flute--1760 #42 A Good Night for Ghosts--1916 #43 Leprechaun in Late Winter--1860 Merlin Mission #17 A Crazy Day with Cobras--1500-1600 Merlin Mission #18 Dogs in the Dead of Night--1600s Merlin Mission #19 Abe Lincoln at Last--1861 Merlin Mission #20 A Perfect Time for Pandas--2008 Merlin Mission #21 Stallion by Starlight--340 BCE Merlin Mission #22 Hurry Up, Houdini!--1915 Merlin Mission #23 High Time for Heroes--1849-1850 Merlin Mission #24 Soccer on Sunday--1970 Merlin Mission #25--Shadow of the Shark--before 1511 Merlin Mission #26 Balto of the Blue Dawn--1925 Some books aren't included in the list because they don't take place in any particular time--wait with bated breath for our big geography project later on. We're also still reading the latest Magic Tree House, the one about Charles Dickens, and then we'll put that one on the timeline, too. The little kid helped me cut out all the book cover thumbnails, then the big kid glued them onto the wall as I showed her where each one went. She coated each in an extra layer of glitter glue, just because, and then I went back and wrote in the timeline info: I had no idea, until we actually started placing them, how many books Mary Pope Osborne had set in the latter half of the nineteenth century or so. If we ever move and thus need to do our timeline over again, remind me to set aside more room here just for her. For a while the kids listened to this book over and over and over again--I think they found the part with the ghost thrilling: I was going to encourage them to listen to Thanksgiving on Thursday, but I don't seem to have ripped the audio copy from a library CD yet. Fortunately, we own a paperback copy of the book, so perhaps we'll find time to read it out loud together today. Interspersed with making Pilgrim paper dolls and the thankful tree and the dinner roll dough to freeze for Thursday, that is... P.S.
