Copywork
About This Passage
Mary Pope Osborne starts the third book the same way she started the first two: a quiet look up at the treehouse before the adventure begins. Students will practice copying simple sentences that introduce a place and a person.
Jack and his seven-year-old sister gazed up at a very tall oak tree. At the top of the tree was a treehouse.

Discussion Questions
Narration Prompt
Tell someone what happened in this chapter in order. When you get to the most important part, slow down and tell it carefully — what happened, why it mattered, and what you think about it.
Discussion Questions
- Jack thinks he hears someone coughing in the bushes. Annie hears nothing. Why does Mary Pope Osborne tell us that only Jack hears the noise? What does it tell us about Jack? What in the story makes you think so?
- Jack remembers the M on the medallion and the M on the bookmark. He thinks about M while he is in the woods. Why does the story keep reminding us about M at the start of every book? What is M?
