The shape of it
The shape of this universe.
The Treehouse Series is Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton's wildly popular illustrated comedy franchise about Andy, Terry and their ever-expanding impossible treehouse. Every book adds thirteen new storeys, from bowling alleys and lemonade fountains to increasingly ridiculous machines, rooms, creatures and disasters. The series is almost pure reading momentum: short chapters, cartoon illustrations, jokes, chaos, metafictional author-narrator nonsense and a constant sense that making the book is part of the book. It is one of the strongest reluctant-reader comedy pathways for children who like silliness at scale.
A hugely funny, highly illustrated comedy series about an ever-growing treehouse full of absurd rooms, inventions, disasters and jokes.
