HI,

I checked the illustrator's bio & he is not listed as having chldren. I had thought perhaps his dd had Kirsten. Maybe his wife collects AG's? [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img]

For those of you who love (or have kid's who love) Magic Tree House books, it is a HUGE hit at our house. DD owns all but three of the thirty something books. She is a little old for them (reading level wise) but wants to keep them "forever". I have been reading them to DS6 & he loves them too. They are too cute playing Jack & Annie together. My dh just built them a new playground & the upper deck is now The Magic Tree House. I painted a golden M on an old rug for them to use in the Tree House & they are going to paint some wooden blocks to look like books from the stories. My dh is impressed that ds is loving books so much because of this series. The kid's are going to write the author a letter this summer w/ book ideas & a thank you for all she has written so far.
