    We are thrilled to have Jack & Annie jump from the pages for the children...the show incorporates elements from the Magic Tree House live musical that toured nationally with hands-on participation from the audience to promote a lifelong love of reading through Jack & Annie adventures.

    My students have noticeably increased their comprehension skills, formal written questions, vocabulary usage and everyday language. They want to read, they want to learn more every day. As a teacher, I am thrilled.
