The first four of the Time Warp Trio books are, in my opinion, the best of the series. The books are all fresh, with wildly complicated events and near-scrapes and they contain Lane Smith's wonderful illustrations.

I read each of these books to well over 600 kids in my days as an elementary school librarian. They each went over extremely well and they remain some of my favorites from that time.

My second and fourth grade boys are loving this series right now. Of course, the older one can read them in about an hour while the younger takes a few more hours. There are some silly adventures with a little history and learning along the way.

Three boys with a magic book have hilarious adventures as they travel through time.

[Loo · Rating 5 out of 5]

The funniest reads ever, especially late at night. Others include Tut-Tut, 2090, and It's All Greek to Me.

I like the way that cowboys was so scared of that black cattle and run from that gun fire.
