So this book really has two ratings, the rating with Magic Tree House nostalgia/fandom and... without.
4* With MTH nostalgia or fans to read it, this book is a lot of fun. (A bit of a whirl wind at times, so please keep that in mind when choosing who to get it for.) Some of the facts will spawn interesting conversations between parents and kids. Other facts are so well discussed in the book that it seems like the characters are part of the process. This made my young reader want to re-read the dinosaur MTH books and be able to reference to the Fact Tracker as we went, so I'd say it did its job well.
2* Without MTH love, this books lacks a real ability to hold the interest of your younger readers and will likely be something you need to have as a 'bathroom read' or something similar. That said, this book can be a good prompt to get them into the MTH series.
Note: I wasn't fact checking the books myself, so I'm not sure how solid the facts are, but none of them seemed incorrect.

Jack and Annie are back to tell readers all about the dinosaurs that populate the first book. Dino lovers will find a lot to learn from this work. The illustrations enhance the information and it is very clear what is being discussed. I have not read the original Fact Tracker so I don't know if this is updated with the latest info. The only oddball thing was the chapters with their favorite dinosaurs. They were added in a way that felt like a filler versus just "here's a dinosaur guide." Either way, kids will grab this be it for the dinos for the Jake & Annie.

Dinosaurs, graphic novels, and Magic Treehouse: a winning combination! My students loved the graphic novel remakes of Jack and Annie’s adventures, but they were also hoping the fact trackers would be related too. This book is so well done!

I allowed my son to read and provide this review. He enjoyed the book and appreciated the facts about dinosaurs. His favorite part was about the T-Rex because of his powerful tail, strong legs and tiny arms. He believes that kids will enjoy this book that love dinosaurs and enjoy reading about them.

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!

Ebook Review
5 ☆
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.
