"This little dog is under a spell and needs your help. To free him, you must be given four special things: A gift from a ship lost at sea,
A gift from the prairie blue,
A gift from a forest far away,
A gift from a kangaroo." How would you feel if you found a note like this in your magic tree house? Eight-year-old Jack and his 7-year-old sister Annie love the funny, enchanted dog Teddy--and know they have no choice but to collect the gifts and break the mysterious spell. In Tigers at Twilight--the 19th adventure in award-winning author Mary Pope Osborne's popular Magic Tree House series--these brave, resourceful children have already found the first two gifts, and must find the third in "a forest far away." Knowing that the books in Morgan Le Fey's magic tree house have the power to transport them all over the world, they see their next destination on the cover of Wildlife of India. Once in the thick of the Indian jungle, it doesn't take them long to make friends with the monkeys, to see the huge gashes that tiger claws have made on the tree trunks, and to spot a python. This story is straight out of an episode of Wild Kingdom; the children spot animal after animal, with only a few close calls. When they find a rare tiger in a poacher's trap, however, the story turns around, and the children are eventually led to the third gift. A tribute to the disappearing tiger, and an animal-filled, action-focused adventure with plenty of cartoon-style illustrations, this slight book is sure to keep kids' attention. A generous layout combined with simple, short sentences promote quick reading that will build confidence in beginning readers. (Ages 4 to 8)
Product Description
Jack and Annie are whisked back in time to the jungle of India where they'll meet snakes and tigers and find ancient ruins.

 Tigers at Twilight is so cool November 27, 1999

I am 8 years old and I loved reading Tigers at Twilight! I think it is the best book I have read yet. My favorite part of the story is when the tiger is saved. I also liked the character of the blind hermit. I plan to read all of the books in the Magic Treehouse series. I think you should get this book for your kids. A lot of kids at my school have read this book and totally like it.
Neat book in every way November 12, 2001

"Tigers At Twilight" is a Magic Tree House book like no other. It has a lot of facts, if you want to learn about India's forests and it's many animals plus it's wonders. This book also has some neat characters, like the monkeys. It also has a lot of funny moments, and I really laughed at them. Well, I don't want to spoil any more of this book. This is now my second best book, besides "Earthquake In The Early Morning". I highly reccomend this for any fan. Enjoy, everyone!!

My favorite part of Tigers at Twilight was when Jack and Annie almost got caught by something in the forest. It kept my interest while I was reading it because there was a whole lot of action. I really liked the animal pictures in the book. I have read almost the whole series and this is my second favorite book from the Magic Tree House.

Tigers a Twilight
I absolutely delect the book titled Tigers a Twilight by Mary Pope Obsorne , a fabulous writer that discribes the problems that occur in a way that you will react, like the part when the children, Annie and Jack try to rescue the tiger.you might inmediatly get attracted to the book after you read only the first word from the book. I totally reccomend this fabulous mystery book because two kids magicly appear to be in India and learn more about nature.

Tigers At Twilight by Mary Pope If you read this book you will think it is very interesting. A little boy and girl go on a quest to solve a riddle. They almost get run over by a rhinoceros and ride an elephant in the forest. I think this book is really cool. It has a magic tree house and I like tree houses. Mary Pope wanted to teach us to never be afraid to do something hard.
