Magic Tree House: Night of the Ninjas

The children go to ancient Japan. Jack is quite scared. When have you been scared? Did you get through the experience? Write about it. Then share it with a parent.
The ninja master offers advice but doesn't answer Jack's questions. What character in another story is also mysterious? Compare the two. Use a Venn diagram. Find five ways they are alike. Then find five ways they are different.
The children always have someone who looks out for them. Is this important? Why should people watch out for each other? Talk about it with a parent.
Japan has a fascinating history. Almost everything is different from here. The buildings are different. Their art is different. The food is different. Even the toilets are different. With a parent, research Japan on the Internet. Make a Pinterest board or Facebook album about what you learn.
