1) Paperback Book Day Of The Dragon-King (Magic Tree House 14, paper) by Random House Books for Young Readers. The theme of this book would probably be that it ties in with the rest of the series, which is ´The Magic Treehouse Series´. The moral lesson might be not to burn or destroy books because they are such a great source of history.
There are actually three main characters. First there is Morgan le Fay, from the time of King Arthur, who owns the treehouse. Next there is Jack, the oldest of the two siblings. Fianally, there is Annie, the younger of the two siblings.
The supporting characters are their mom, who is in pretty much every story at the begining and end. Also included are a few people from ancient China. Mainly there are the silk weaver, the scholar in disguise, and Emporer Qin. More minor roles are the silk weaver´s fiance, and a few various scholars, townspeople, and guards.
"You´re going to ancient China." is a good excerpt to illustrate the geographic and time settings. The time is around 2,000 years ago in the time of the first emperor, The Dragon King. The geographic setting is, of course, China. Since Emperor Qin (the first emperor) was trying to unite the colonies it was, by that time, all one country rather than being divided. It is set in the capitol where the Imperial Palace was built. The political setting is to the point where Emporer Qin was so frustrated with the scholars that he is burning all the books. Because of this everybody is scared of him, especially the scholars and philosophers.
The major problem in this story is Jack and Annie need to find the ancient book, without any major mishaps. Normally they have a few minor problems, but nothing too huge, as it´s a children´s book and only about 68 pages. Helping them resolve this problem are a silk weaver and a scholar in disguise. Resolving the problem, simply, they find the book and bring it home with only a few problems.
I have always liked this series, even though I´m 15 now, I still like this series even though they´re kind of young for me, and I can finish one in 30 minutes.¤ 2) Paperback Book Day Of The Dragon-King (Magic Tree House 14, paper) by Random House Books for Young Readers.

My four year old son is in love with this chapter series! A friend suggested it to us since he seemed ready for a more advanced reading material at bedtime. My husband reads him a chapter every night...sometimes more because they don´t want to stop. It´s become a great tradition for them, and something they both look forward to. We love that there are so many in the collection! Start with number 1 and just continue. :)¤ 4) Paperback Book Day Of The Dragon-King (Magic Tree House 14, paper) by Random House Books for Young Readers. My 1st grader hates to put it down, he would rather read Magic Tree House books, than play video games. He even reads them to his class and explains the story for show and tell. In his kindergarten class the teacher would also let him read the Magic Tree House books out loud, not to give her a break, but to promote reading out loud. Great books!¤ 5) Paperback Book Day Of The Dragon-King (Magic Tree House 14, paper) by Random House Books for Young Readers. this book Its great because anyone liked cartoon this book would like him¤ 6) Paperback Book Day Of The Dragon-King (Magic Tree House 14, paper) by Random House Books for Young Readers.
