The 104-Storey Treehouse

What do our readers think of The 104-Storey Treehouse? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the wild inventions, detailed pictures, silly jokes and the chance to explore all the different storeys. Some children find the book’s simple storyline and page-by-page gags less interesting than the imaginative treehouse itself.

What does the Pageticker team say about The 104-Storey Treehouse?

The 104-Storey Treehouse is Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton at their gloriously chaotic best: a fast-moving mix of comic-strip illustrations, daft inventions, wordplay and wonderfully silly slapstick. As the eighth Treehouse adventure, it rewards fans of the series but is easy enough to enjoy on its own, especially for children who prefer visual, joke-packed books to long stretches of plain text. Adults may want to brace themselves for groans as well as giggles.
