This is the 45th adventure for the Magic Tree House kids, Jack and Annie. Jack and Annie have to travel to India in search of an emerald rose to save their penguin friend, Penny, who has been accidentally turned to stone. On their quest to save Penny, Jack and Annie also manage to rescue an elephant, come face to face with a King Cobra, and discover the origins of the Taj Mahal.
Review
Beautiful story. Showcases Annie's love of animals and the lengths people (and animals) will go to for the love of family. Readers will learn interesting facts about snakes, something that appealed to my son far more than it did to me. 4 out of 5 stars
Recommended for: children under 10, library story times, classroom story times. There's also a research guide, Magic Tree House Research Guide #23: Snakes and Other Reptiles: A Nonfiction Companion to Magic Tree House #45: A Crazy Day with Cobras (A Stepping Stone Book(TM))
, that will tell readers even more about snakes. Cautions: none
