      Jack and Annie set forth on another Magic Tree House adventure---this tine to a deserted island where they are kidnapped by cruel and violent pirates. Read the account of their daring escape!!
    • 5/5
      This is a cute book, and I want to read the rest of them. I know that kids love these books because they get to imagine themselves in different places and situations. I would use this book to show story progression and main idea.
    • 3/5
      This is a higher level book but is entertaining. It is a book that lets your imaginaton run wild and has a lot of good detail in it.
    • 5/5
      As an adult reader, this children's book drew me in and kept me reading. It is a good book for all types of teaching areas in Reading. You can use it to teach theme/genre because it has historical references and pirates. You can use it to teach plot because it has a plot twist like every other page. You could also use it for predictions and retelling because the author is very good at leaving clues in the pictures and text. I'm sure there is much more but these were my initial thoughts on it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
    • 3/5
      Good book for beginners with chapter books, it teaches about pirates culture, being brave and character traits. Students love it because they feel like they have accomplished a chapter book, it has short sentences and its magical.
    • 4/5
      Great and easy read. The book is great for young readers getting introduced to chapter books. This book has strong character rolls and his a fun adventure/mystery book. Jack and his little sister Annie have this magic tree house where they find books and go on an adventure while reading them. It really invites the reader to get involved and make predictions. This book is a good lesson for characterization lessons. Jack is a quiet person who seems to be quite reserved, but opens up and becomes more adventurous throughout the story. His younger sister Annie is vivacious and doesn't seem to be scared of a thing.
    • 3/5
      Jack and Annie finally figure out where the tree house has come from. They travel to Pirates of the Caribbean in this book. While they are there, the pirates capture them to make them find Captain Kidd's treasure. When they find it, a storm comes in and the pirates go back to the safety of their ship and the kids go home. When they get home a woman named Morgan tells them about the tree house.

      In the book Pirates Past Noon by Mary Pope Osborne, the main characters Jack and Annie are captured by pirates. In their adventure, they must solve the mystery and try to get back home. This is a transition book for elementary students that includes several illustrations. It is a fun book of adventure and fantasy that students will love. The Magic Tree House series has many great books for young readers, and this is one of them.
    • 4/5
      Review: "Pirates Past Noon" is the fourth book in The Magic Treehouse series and consists of the sibling duo Annie and Jack getting involved in a new exotic adventure. Annie and Jack are taken to a sunny beach, but quickly capture by pirates who are on the search for Captain Kidd's buried treasure. Throughout the story, Annie and Jack try to solve the mystery of the treasure in order to escape and make it home. Genre: FantasyGenre Critique: This book would be a children's fantasy book because there are elements such as the magic treehouse and the way they travel through time unharmed. It encourages children to use their imaginations and adventure into the unknown.
    • 4/5
      In Pirates Past Noon Jack and Annie get taken to the world of pirates and help find Captain Kidd's treasure only to return to their time before opening the chest. However they do find out who the mysterious M is who created the tree house and gave them all the books that take them places. This book would be really good for a child who has just learnt to read because it is an adventure and all of us like adventures.
    • 3/5
      Media: Pencil/watercolor (printed in black and white regular print ink)Genre: This book is a good example of Historical Fiction and Fantasy because the characters are children who love to explore and read, just like most children do and they experience adventures at home and in other places throughout the world that really did happen in history, the author using the children's experiences in history to teach the reader about that place/time period in history. It is fantasy because the children have a magical tree house and they travel through time to the past by pointing to a book. Setting: The time and place of these stories is the most significant part of communicating the story because the theme and plot is dependent upon where Jack and Annie travel to. In this book they travel to the Caribbean where pirates land on an island looking for treasure. Obviously, without including descriptions of the time period and location where the pirates are, the story wouldn't have a point to it.
    • 4/5
      This is book #4 in the popular Magic Tree House series. My older son didn't read many of these books, but my first grader recently asked me to read one to him. In this book, Jack and his younger sister Annie are transported to an island where they encounter pirates hunting for a buried treasure. The idea behind this series is an interesting one, as Jack and Annie visit a number of historical locations. However, the books are definitely geared toward early readers. The plot of this book was pretty thin. But it did hold the interest of my first grade son, and I'm fairly certain that we'll be reading more of the series.
    • 5/5
      This is a good early chapter book of fantasy. The story would never happen in the real world. Jack and Annie went back to the time of pirates by King Arthur's sister, and they had an adventurous experience on the land. Genre: FantasyAge: Intermediate/UpperMedia: Pen/Pencils
    • 2/5
      It wasn't that good. I didn't like it because it was sort of boring. I liked a little of it because I liked the swords and the knives.

      Pirates Past Noon is an example of a fantasy because the main characters are taken into a book by a magic tree house. The style of this book is effective for children who are beginning to read chapter books. The chapters are short and the font is large. There are also a few pictures in the book that help the reader see what is happening. Media: Watercolor, pen
    • 3/5
      This is a science fiction book about two kids who discover a magic tree house. They go back into time and have many adventures. This would be perfect for the intermediate grades where students are just getting into chapter books. I would use this in the classroom to show how reading can be fun, and history can be too. Both of the kids who were the main characters where round and they grew a lot though the story.
    • 2/5
      Genre: FantasyCritique: This book is a good example of fantasy because it has such amazing wonders as a time warp that takes them to the Carribian, and Jack and Anne both become part of this wonderious world or pirates and treasure.
    • 4/5
      This is actually a well written series of fantasy books for very young children. With a limited vocabulary they succeed very well with keeping children rivetted. My 7yo (who is not quite reading on his own yet) finds these books very exciting and I will continue to read these aloud to him over the next few months. Pirates Past Noon concludes the running story-line of the first 4 books and the 7yo is quite concerned how Jack and Annie will ever manage to get back to the tree house again. He's anxiously awaiting the start of the next book.
    • 3/5
      Jack and Annie end up getting caught by pirates who are convinced they know the location of a treasure. The pirates hold them captive, until they figure out where it is, then they escape during a tropical storm. They also find out that the M person is Morgan Le Fay.

      Swashbuckling adventure awaits Annie and Jack as the magic tree house takes them to an island, and they have to help pirates find a treasure. I love pirates, but this is a weak story in the series, albeit still entertaining. It also introduces Morgan in a section at the end that feels a bit tacked on. Apparently this was supposed to be the last book in the series, but I'm glad that they didn't stop there!
    • 4/5
      This book tells of the adventures of a brother and sister who have discovered a magical treehouse. They go up into the treehouse and are transported to an island where they meet pirates and find a treasure map.
    • 4/5
      This modern fantasy was written in 1994 and involves a set of siblings as they travel through time in a magic tree house! In this book of the series, the two kids walk to the tree house on a dark, windy, stormy night in an attempt to escape it. When they get there, they find the gold medallion as well as the leather bookmark with the letter "M" on them as well as an open book! Both Jack and Annie agree that they didn't leave any books open so they decide to see what the page has on it... When they look they discover a land that appears warm, sandy, and has an ocean - it's a beach! Annie says the magic words and the tree house begins to spin and spin until they are transported to the warm looking beach. As they are being transported, a parrot comes by and Annie decides that she is Polly; however, when the kids get there, Polly is not to be found. Annie and Jack decide to go out and try the ocean water to have some fun. However, Annie sees a boat coming and it appears to be coming faster and faster! Jack then decided to check the cover to see just where they'd ended up - in "The Pirates of the Caribbean!" He then decided to sit down and draw the picture of "the Jolly Roger" as seen in the book, but before they knew it, a rowboat was on its way towards them, full of pirates! Annie told Jack to run, but he dropped his glasses! By the time he found them, collected his things, and was almost back to the tree house, he realized he left the book in the sand! He ran back for it, but the pirates were already on shore and they snatched him. Before he knew it, Annie was running to his aid but was caught as well. When the pirates discovered that it was simply books in the tree house, the captain became angry and told them the only way they were getting out was by helping the pirates find the treasure. He then produced a map and had Jack read it, however, it was a clue as to where the treasure was hidden rather than actually saying where it was. Due to the fact that the kids weren't able to tell them exactly where the treasure was, the pirates took them aboard the ship and locked them away until they were ready to talk. While the kids were on the ship, they looked out in time to discover what the riddle meant and called the captain into the room so that they could negotiate a way out. When they got back to the island a storm was brewing. By the time they got to the place the treasure was buired at the storm was coming up fast, so the captain told his two men to simply dig faster. However, when Polly came by and warned them to "go back," they became frightened and ran back to their rowboat. Not wanting to be left behind, the captain abandoned Jack and Annie and raced back to the boat so he could get to his ship before the storm hit. Jack and Annie made it back just in time and wished to go back home, which is exactly where the house took them. Both kids were bothered that they still didn't know who "M" was, but it seemed hopeless; just then, Polly flew in and turned into an old, tall, and majestic woman! "M" turned out to be "Morgan le Fay." While the kids were appreciative, both were afraid that the trip to the land of the pirates was there last, but when Jack and Annie left the tree house, Jack found the gold medallion in his pocket which Annie took to mean as Morgan was planning on coming back.
    • 4/5
      I loved this book! Reading these as a child was one of my favorite things to do. These books always kept me interested and wondering what was going to happen next. They were filled with historical references, modern ay mishaps, and characters that made me become so emotionally attached. The characters, Jack and Annie are always on some kind of adventure, in pursuit of a mission and a final location. This book is a great example of repetition and familiar word sounds. The Magic Tree House series uses similar repetition of formulas throughout their books such as "the wind blew harder..then everything was still." The end of this book left me so excited to want to read #5, which is something that the author takes much pride in. When books flow into one another, it makes learning for students easier. They can correspond and relate to the text. As well as relate back to previously read books. Overall, I would use this book in my classroom because it is very informative, action filled, and inspiring. It mainly teaches children to never give up and to always pursue their goals. On a 5-7 year old reading level, this book is a great step into chapter book reading. Words are spread across each page, chapters are divide according to a series of important events, and aspects such as character, plot, and setting are all explained in great detail.
    • 4/5
      I finally got around to reading the first five books of the Magic Tree House series, and I have to say that these are perfect for my early chapter book readers. We’ve got a boy and a girl main character...check. We’ve got adventure and action...check. We’ve got readable text...check. What more could I ask for?
    • 4/5
      In Pirates Past Noon, The fourth Magic Tree House book, Jack and Annie once again travel in their tree house. This time they end up on a beautiful beach. Before they can enjoy it, they are kidnapped by Cap’n Bones and his crew of pirates. The only way to get away is to help the pirates find Captain Kidd’s treasure. Jack and Annie must rely on their courage, critical thinking and a talking parrot to get away from the pirates and back to their home. Children who love Mary Pope Osbourne’s other Magic Tree House books will find this one entertaining. It is both easy to read and interesting. Sal Murdocca’s occasional illustrations support the story perfectly and add a little more excitement. It is recommended for the children’s section of public libraries and elementary school libraries.
    • 5/5
      When the Magic Tree House takes Jack and Annie to a Caribbean Island, the horrible pirate Cap'n Bones demands that they help him recover Kidd's lost treasure. The fourth book in the Magic Tree House series is fun and adventurous. The two protagonists are a believable young brother and sister pair, and Jack's careful, studious nature contrasts nicely with Annie's impetuous curiosity. The pirates are nasty and threatening, but not in an overwhelmingly scary manner. Cap'n Bones, for instance, is very vocal about his hatred of books (he calls them “vile booty”), and when the children do not hand over treasure, he takes them to his ship and locks them in his cabin. There is enough suspense about whether the kids can successfully escape from the pirates, but the conflict is resolved without any violence and is appropriate for young readers. Though this is the fourth in the series, enough background information is given that it can be read alone or out of order. However, the book does end with the exciting reveal of the meaning behind the tree house's 'M', which has been a mystery since the first book, so readers may want to avoid reading this one until after the first three. This book is suited for 2nd through 3rd grade readers.
