MEDIA REVIEWS
With its slapstick humour,brilliant absurdities and some bonus puzzles to solve at the back of the book,The 13-Storey Treehouse is the best'tall story'you'll read this year!Longtime collaborators Griffiths and Denton (Killer Koalas from Outer Space) get metafictional in their latest book (first published in Australia),and the result is anarchic absurdity at its best... Denton's manic cartooning captures every twist and turn in hilarious detail,as babies are pelted with garbage,yapping dogs squashed,and monkeys catapulted into the distance.Full of crazy,funny pictures,which will make you laugh...Extremely enjoyable,very funny and easy to read!Especially good for reluctant readers as it is heavily illustrated and VERY funny...This really is the coolest treehouse ever!Packed with cartoons and crazinessThis book is about friends Andy and a Terry that live in a really cool 13-storey treehouse,with cool things like a bowling alley,games room and secret lab...The friends get up to some crazy things,an enjoyable book.My son absolutely adores this whole series of books. They are hilariously funny but so imaginative and creative. I've recommended them to so many people and haven't yet found a child who doesn't love them. This first book sets the scene with Andy and Terry - the characters and authors/illustrators - living in a treehouse with 13 stories who are meant to be writing a book but keep getting distracted by an endless stream of hilarious madness.It's funny,hugely imaginative and has LOTS of pictures.What child would not want a treehouse with see-through swimming pool,lemonade fountain,games room,bowling alley and marshmallow machineBrilliant series and if you haven't read them yet why not Start at the beginning and work through them all. Laugh out loud funny and I love reading about all the things they have in their treehouse.My son read this book solidly in one day. He has LOVED it,the mix of text and illustrations is ideal for this age range,I could hear him laughing away to himself whilst he was reading it...A fabulous buy that will be read time and time again.This is silly and fun and a great book to encourage of love of reading in young children. I read this to my 5 year old daughter and months later she still makes reference to a scene in the book.
Andy Griffiths
From giant mutant mermaid sea monsters to ice cream-serving robots called Edward Scooperhands,and from evading the Story Police to travelling through time,there is no end to the zany fun with Andy (who writes the words) and Terry (who draws the pictures) and their ever-expanding treehouse.
