Magic Tree House #1 Dinosaurs Before Dark
by Mary Pope Osborne 
New York: Random House, 1992

Jack and Annie discover a mysterious tree house in their Pennsylvania backyard. Climbing up the rope ladder, they find it's filled with books about dinosaurs, knights, and more. Suddenly they're transported back in time, and the dinosaurs are real! Will they be able to get home?

The first in the sprawling series, Dinosaurs After Dark introduces young readers to Jack and Annie and their myriad adventures. This short highly illustrated chapter book mixes science with adventure and sets up a continuing narrative thread that continues throughout the series. There are dozens of books with different adventures, so there's sure to be something for everyone. A companion non-fiction series gives further information on the adventures in each book.
