School Library Journal Review
Gr 3-6-A companion to A Ghost Tale for Christmas Time (Random, 2010), this guide answers Jack and Annie's (and presumably readers') questions about what everyday life was like for children in Victorian England. A blend of text and illustrations succinctly, yet colorfully, depicts the child's world of 19th-century England, presenting difficult issues in easy-to-understand language. (c) Copyright 2012.

Horn Book Review
With the Magic Tree House's Jack and Annie as tour guides, this slim volume describes life in Victorian England, in particular the lives of children. Historical photographs and drawings bring the era of the Industrial Revolution to life. The book effectively concludes by drawing similarities between difficult conditions faced by children then and now. Reading list, websites. Ind. (c) Copyright 2011.
