My 5yo picked this book out because of the dragon on the cover. It’s the first Magic Treehouse book either of us have read. He didn’t completely understand it, but he was definitely engaged with it and remembered a lot of details between readings, to my surprise! We learned about haiku, samurais, sushi, sumo wrestling, shadow puppets and a little historical background about the city of Edo during the 17th Century.

My son bought a bunch of these at a garage sale after his teacher had read them at school. I hve been reading thwm to him and I am impressed. I thought it would be a little boring to me but I love the idea behind it, the history and little facts. I enjoyed reading this book to him.
