Carnival at Candlelight

I just finished Mary Pope Osborne's Carnival at Candlelight. This is part of the Magic Tree House series. The book is a chapter book about the adventures of Jack and Annie. In this book they go to Venice to save the Grand Lady of the Lagoon. The kids use magic and there own problem solving skills to figure out what to do next. I really enjoyed the book. The writing was detailed enough to create a good story, but simple enough for elementary students to understand and enjoy. Reading this first book for World Literature for Children has gotten me excited to have my own classroom and read with my children.
