This is the first book in Jon Scieszka's Time Warp Trio series. Overall, this is a fun book in which Joe, Sam and Fred find themselves transported back in time to Arthurian England, thanks to a book Joe received from his uncle, Joe the Magnificent (a magician), for his birthday. These 20th century kids defeat the black knight before running into the Knights of the Round Table and meeting all of the characters of Arthurian legend: Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and Merlin. When the castle is beset
Another read that I did on my own time, just for the sake of revisiting a book I loved as a kid. I checked out pretty much every book from The Time Warp Trio when I was in elementary school, but this was the one I liked the most--because it was a fantasy story. I vaguely remember reading one about cavemen, and another one that was set in the future, but that's about it. Knights of the Kitchen Table still made me laugh twenty years later, so there's something to be said for that; and it also remi...
The Time Warp Trio: Knights of the Kitchen Table is the first book in the Time Warp Trio series. These stories are full of humor, adventure, and suspense and are sure to keep the reader on their toes! Knights of the Kitchen Table begins at the birthday party of one of the main characters, Joe, at his house in New York City. He is celebrating with this two best friends, Sam and Fred, as well as his mom and dad. His mother gives him a present from his uncle, Joe the Magnificent, a practicing magi...
I love this book in so many ways, for so many reasons - and I can't believe it's taken me this long to read it! I kind of want to plow through the entire series...but I don't have time. :( Then again, they're super short... so maybe I can pull off one a week or so!
A really fun book for young readers. Great suspense and humour to keep young readers interested until the very end. A fantastic early chapter book. Highly recommended.
The antics that these three boys get into on their time warp journeys are hilarious! I enjoyed reading these books aloud to my Grade 3 students!
In the true vein of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. I just wish I could get more of my students to give a book like this a try, instead of reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid for the 17th time.
A series that will most definitely appeal to elementary grade boys. Complete with regular boy stuff like baseball and potty humor. Plus exotic history locations like the Round Table complete with King Arthur and Merlin. Recommended for 2nd grade and up.
My son and I had a blast reading our first chapter book together. We thought this book was hilarious and a lot of fun. It's fast paced, filled with lots of action and that gross humor that young boys seem to love. (Do they grow out of it eventually?) My sons review: "I thought chapter books were boring but I was wrong." :)
If you could time travel, when would you go? The past, the future? What if something bad happens while you are travelling? This science fiction story is about a book that gives you the power to time travel. I really like this book. It is full of action and suspense. This story takes place in a house on Joe's birthday. Joe gets a book from his uncle for birthday. The book helps them time travel. The conflict in the story is person vs. person because at first the kids are fighting a knight, then t...
The report is that it is pretty funny.
The Time Warp Trio series is part of the tapestry of my early literacy. I remember enjoying the first few, but then growing out of the books along with my increasing reading level. As a teacher, I've always recommended them to my students as fast, fun page-turners. However, revisiting the first book, Knights of the Kitchen Table, I am reminded that nuance is often lost in hindsight. It's all a bit simple. The plot. The humor. The history, too, is vague, not even as fleshed out as The Magic Tree
Silly, fun little book about three goofy guys that go back in time and end up with Sir Arthur and his knights fighting a smelly giant and a fiery dragon. Fun series for young readers. BOB 3/4
So sexist. All the heroes are boys, and the only female character is a princess who is described by her beauty. LOL, just kidding! Can you imagine if I was really like that. Gross.
I loved reading these books in the third grade. I read this one to my 5-year-old, I think he's still a little young for it. He liked it though. I'll probably read the rest to him when he's older.
I did not like this book because I do not like giants and fire-breathing dragons. I enjoyed this book because I liked the part when they escaped the Black Knight. They journeyed into Camelot.
This book was really weird and funny
I like the part where the black knight fell down. He first said, "None shall pass!" and then he said, "Prepare to die!" His lance was so big, at the end it had a very crooked end. The story went back and forth and back and forth. We should have read it in order, so Chapter 2 first and then Chapter 1.
Lent to me by a fourth grader. About a group of friends who travel back to Medieval Times and meet up with King Arthur and Merlin. Quick, easy read. Like Magic Tree House with more spunk and sass. I can see why it would be a draw for reluctant readers, but I didn't love it. There wasn't enough substance for me.
This would be a good book to get a little boy interested in reading. It has just the things that would appeal to a boy's sense of humor. It was a cute story and a fun idea for a time-traveling series.
