The 13-Storey Treehouse (The Treehouse Series Book 1)

Product Information

It might be old-fashioned of me, but I think that books for kids should include some kind of learning angle. The lessons don't have to be life-shattering, but there should be something there. It can be about socializing or history, morality or science, but there should be something in the stories we give to our children that offer them tools with which to approach the world. This book is about two kid-authors who spend the entire book procrastinating and then (spoilers) at the last minute pull through and finish their project by WRITING ABOUT HOW THEY PROCRASTINATED. And then their books is published and everyone loves it. So I guess the moral of the story is "Hey Kids! You can not do the shit you're supposed to do and you'll still be fine!". Good lesson, Andy Griffiths, good lesson.

The story begins with Andy introducing himself and his friend Terry. He says that they live in a 13-story treehouse, which has a bowling alley, a see-through swimming pool, a tank full of man-eating sharks, vines you can swing on, a games room, a secret underground laboratory, a lemonade fountain, a vegetable vaporizer, and a marshmallow machine that follows you around and automatically shoots marshmallows into your mouth whenever you're hungry. Andy says that as well as the treehouse being his and Terry's home, it is also where they make books together. Andy writes the words and Terry draws the picture.
