The 13-STOREY TREEHOUSE

By Andy Griffiths
Illustrated by Terry Denton

Another laugh-a-minute illustrated chapter book from the pair that brought you the Just series and The Very Bad Book. They are a particular favourite of mine with Andy's clever descriptions and story pace and Terry's illustrations that fill in the visual gaps left behind. In fact, some of Terry's illustrations can often put a completely different slant on a sentence or two.

This has got to be a winner with kids of all ages. I'm looking forward to sharing this and the other TREE-HOUSE books with my class this year.

What is your favourite Andy Griffiths story?

Synopsis

Andy and Terry's 13-storey tree-house is the most amazing tree-house in the world! It's got a bowling alley, a see-through swimming pool, a tank full of man-eating sharks, a giant catapult, a secret underground laboratory and a marshmallow machine that follows you around, and shoots marshmallows into your mouth whenever you're hungry. Well, what are you waiting for? Come on up!
