This was a fantastic graphic novel that I cannot wait to add to my classroom library. I am always on the hunt for nonfiction graphic novels to add to my library because the students find them interesting, and they present the information in an accessible way. This book did just that. I have a decent understanding of dinosaurs and learned a lot while reading it. I would have loved to have access to a book like this as a child The illustrations were lovely to look at. This will be a popular book in the library!

The Magic Treehouse is an enduring classic, and for good reason! The books are entertaining and educational. Just as the original chapter book series included an informational accompaniment, so too do the graphic novels. And the non-fiction accompaniment is also a graphic novel. This will introduce more readers to Jack and Annie's adventures, and to science and history. I highly recommend this book for schools and libraries!

I love the Magic Tree House Fact Trackers because they are a great way to help kids transition from reading exclusively fiction or nonfiction. I am even happier to see a graphic novel version because my students LOVE graphic novels.

This graphic novel has excellent illustrations that will engage kids of all ages. The text is very informative but written in a casual enough way to still be very readable for some of the younger kids that will inevitably gravitate towards this graphic novel.

Using the characters of Jack and Annie throughout the book is key to helping get the kiddos who enjoy nonfiction to give the fiction books a chance.

I hope there will be more fact tracker graphic novels soon, I am so excited to add them to my library. I would recommend this to any elementary school library and to every public library.

Thank you to Net Galley, Random House Childrens', and Random House Books for Young Readers for the DRC. All opinions are my own and are based on my work as an elementary school librarian.

I have always loved the world of magic tree house and am so glad it is still going for my kid now. This is great for a little bit older than my kid is now and I will definitely be adding it to the collection when he is older.

This was my second Magic Tree House book, but loved it even more than the first. Although this isn’t the typical adventures following Jack and Annie, it does showcase up-to-date historical and scientific facts about their escapades. If you’re looking for something new for your kids that isn’t a “junk food” book, then I would highly recommend the Magic Tree House books, but especially this Fact Tracker Graphic Novel. How can you go wrong with dinosaurs?!

Another great edition to the Magic Tree House graphic novel adaptations. This fact tracker is the updated version of the dinosaur fact tracker. The illustrations are fun and the book will be a hit with magic tree house and dinosaur fans alike.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fun graphic novel to go along with the Magic Treehouse series. This was so much fun and informative.

I requested this graphic novel for my kiddos and because I loved the Magic Treehouse series as a child! This one was a hit and I’m going to be grabbing physical copies for my kids when they are out.
My 9 year old gave me her personal review to post:
“I would give this 4.5 stars because it was educational but still fun. I want to read more of the series and I liked the art.”

My son is such a big fan of Magic Tree House and thinks it's so cool I get to read early release books, I got this for him and I to get and I'm so glad I did. He loved learning all the new facts about dinosaurs and says he's ready for the next one!

The Magic Tree House series has always been a big hit in our home so when I saw there was a Graphic Novel focused on Dinosaurs, I knew I had to get it and share it with my oldest. This was a quick read for us and an absolute hit! We loved it and have already preordered it in both digital and physical formats.

I have been a fan of the Magic Tree House graphic novels since they first came out, but I wasn't sure that the "fact tracker" books would be able to hold my interest. I was happily wrong! This book does a great job of explaining how we know what we know about dinosaurs and lots of dino information in an accessible way. I've read a lot of paleontology books for kids, and this one was truly great! The illustrations were on point, and information was up to date without being dense and unapproachable. Great job!

Thanks to Mary Pope Osborne, Random House Children's, and NetGalley for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own!

When Jack and Annie got back from their adventure in *Magic Tree House #1: Dinosaurs Before Dark*, they had lots of questions about dinosaurs.

I screamed when I saw I was approved for this book. My children and I enjoyed this graphic novel. I grew up reading Magic Tree House books, and now my children can enjoy them as well.

Thank you, Netgellay, and Random House Children's for the ebook in exchange for my honest review.

This book is so fun! Thank you Netgalley for the ARC! My son loved the pictures and the info on dinosaurs. Great bookfor your little dinosair. My son is 3 and found it entertaining.

Now that the Magic Tree House is slowly being adapted into graphic novels, the Fact Trackers are too! This is the Dinosaurs fact tracker book for middle grade readers. It can be read with the fiction Magic Tree House novel "Dinosaurs Before Dark," but can also be read on its own. Lots of bright and colorful illustrations with humorous dialogue from Jack and Annie, and a lot of good basic information about dinosaurs. A recommended purchase where the Magic Tree House graphic novels are popular.

Do you know how rare it is to find a nonfiction graphic novel???? I am so tickled pink with happiness that the Magic Tree House series is making their Fact Tracker series into a graphic novel series as well!!! Graphic novels are by far my favorite genre. When there's a chance that a nonfiction one comes my way, I leap on it!

This graphic novel is about.... you guessed it: dinosaurs. Jack and Annie guide us through all the facts you could possibly want to learn and more about these giant reptiles! I liked the robust glossary at the end. I also so that they gave the dinosaurs names and the meanings behind them and if there was a fun fact, they would add it in. This novel wouldn't have been complete without some mention of the Marshall Cope bone wars - so I was super happy to see it included! I feel like I learned a lot about dinosaurs from reading this one as an adult.

I will be adding it to my classroom library and I suggest that everyone that can should add it too. I already have ideas of turning research papers into graphic novels/comics. hmmm.

Now that the popular Magic Tree House series has been adapted into a graphic novel series, the non-fiction adjacent "Fact Trackers" seem to be the next in line for graphic novel treatment. The first one, "Dinosaurs" is a perfect adaption for those who are fans of the fictional series, as Jenny Laird is behind the abridgement of both. Jomike Tejido is a change of illustrator but he manages to balance a cartoony flair with accurate anatomy and styles that won't offend dinosaur-lovers who insist on accuracy. The one part where I think his illustrations don't manage to convey accuracy is when Jack and Annie discuss the thinness of dinosaur skin and there's a close up. I hope in the final product they have photographs in that section, because drawing crocodile scales can simulate an armored plating but whispy single lines meant to represent hairs don't portray a thin skinned lizard the way a photograph or diagram would.

The chapters are divided into the history, plant eaters vs flesh eaters, and dinosaur adjacent creatures. I particularly enjoyed how they put a pronunciation guide for each dinosaur in the earlier chapters, but was disappointed they didn't continue it when listing the dinosaur neighbors who also have some complicated names for kids (and adults!) to sound out. Since the Magic Tree House series is targeted for first grade and up, simplifying most of what happened makes it suitable for an introduction to the topic, so keeping track of the eras and pronunciation for each dinosaur is a good investment.

Overall this is a great book to introduce kids to dinosaurs. I wouldn't say it's my first choice for a dino-phile kid who is probably devouring more complicated fare with more detailed illustrations, but since the Fact Tracer series was meant to introduce non-fiction to kids who might otherwise prefer stories it is a worthy collaboration for the series.

So many interesting facts. I kept reading parts to my husband aloud. It is a really nice format. It has the vibe of Science Comics, but is your favorite time traveling siblings.

5 stars

This one is a MUST BUY for any library or parent who knows a dinosaur lover. The graphic novel format makes this accessible for pre-readers and early readers and will make them feel like they're reading a big kid book, especially with the chapters. The book includes engaging facts that help the reader learn about dinosaurs while still being engaging and fun. My son is almost 6 and isn't yet reading and loved listening to me read this one. As someone who stumbles on dinosaur names, I really appreciate the phonetic spellings and pronunciation guides included in this one. This one is a first purchase for any classroom, school, or public library and ideal for readers who are K-4 and anyone who loves dinosaurs. HIGHLY recommend! Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I will absolutely be buying a copy for my son and his teacher. A million stars.
