Afternoon on the Amazon: Big Bugs

No, but really? How do the books keep getting opened on their own when Peanut’s paws are too small? Magic, probably?
Well, this is a bit backwards from normal. Jack’s excited to go to the rainforest, but Annie isn’t. Because bugs, apparently.
And now Jack’s gotta remind Annie about rescuing Morgan.
Also, Jack’s worried about not being able to see a rainforest before they all get cut down. I mean, it’s been more than 20 years since this first came out, and he’s still not wrong, unfortunately…

Afternoon on the Amazon: Where’s Peanut?

So, Jack and Annie are going to make sure that the treehouse is still there with Peanut. It still is.
Peanut is a girl. Hmm…
Oh, OK, so this is a day after the last book.
And Annie gave Peanut a sock to use as a sleeping bag.
Annie wants Peanut to help find the next thing to help Morgan. By traveling with another conveniently open book.

So, I finally got a bunch more of these Magic Tree House books again, and the only one from this batch that has a familiar name from what I kinda remember reading as a kid is Dolphins at Daybreak, but that’s one I’ll be getting to a bit later.
Anyway, it’s been a while since I did this series for my blog (again), so thank goodness for the prologue (again).
So, Jack is eight and Annie is seven. I feel like I remember Annie was closer to five, so either I’m remembering wrong (which is probably the case) or that’s a minor continuity error.
OK, so Morgan is just referenced as a librarian from Camelot here. Because the whole half-sister of Arthur, plus with some versions of the legends having her, uh, involvement with Mordred is a lot to unpack for a series geared towards kindergartners.
Yep. The Treehouse is still a TARDIS.
And the kids still have to rescue Morgan.
