Dinosaurs Before Dark Graphic Novel by Mary Pope Osborne, Jenny Laird, Kelly Matthews, Nichole Matthews: Series: Magic Tree House


Jack and Annie are playing outside when Annie finds a treehouse.  Jack tries to keep her safe but she goes up the ladder anyway.  She finds it's full of books.  That's enough to get Jack up there, too.

Random House Books for Young Readers and Edelweiss allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  It has already been published and you can get a copy now.

Jack was looking at a dinosaur book when he wished he could be there.  The treehouse starts moving and they find themselves there.  They have time travelled back to when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Annie is fearless and goes out and makes friends with two of the dinosaurs.  Then a T-rex shows up.  While the others ate plants, he ate meat.  So Annie and Jack run from him.

Will they get home safe?

This is well illustrated, full of adventure, and you can learn some dinosaur names, too.  It's nicely done.
