![]() Long books take longer to write than short books, which don’t take as long to write as long books, which, as I said, take longer to write than short books, which-oh, excuse me. Well, I guess the answer to that really depends on whether it’s a long book or a short book. If you’re like most of our readers, you’re probably wondering how long it takes Terry and me to write a book. Sure, it’s easy to get distracted when you live in a 39-storey treehouse … I mean, there’s just so much to do …īut somehow we always get our book written in the end. I write the words and Terry draws the pictures.Īs you can see, we’ve been doing this for quite a while now. We’ve added a trampoline (without a net),Īn Andy and Terry’s Believe It … or Else! Museum,Ī boxing elephant called The Trunkinator (he can knock you out with one punch from his mighty trunk),Īn X-ray room (where you can see your own skeleton),Ī disco with a light-up dance floor and giant mirror ball,Ī high-tech office with laser-erasers, semi-automatic staple guns and jet-propelled swivel chairs,Īnd the world’s scariest rollercoaster (it’s so fast, so dangerous and so terrifying that even dead people are scared to go on it),Īnd, as well as all that, there’s a level that is so new that Terry hasn’t even finished it yet … I can’t wait to see what it is!Īs well as being our home, the treehouse is also where we make books together. (It used to be a 26-storey treehouse, but we’ve added another 13 storeys.) ![]() And when I say ‘treehouse’, I don’t just mean any old treehouse-I mean a 39- storey treehouse. Well, when I say ‘tree’, I mean treehouse. ![]() Le informazioni nella sezione "Su questo libro" possono far riferimento a edizioni diverse di questo titolo.Chapter CHAPTER 1 THE 39-STOREY TREEHOUSE Kids will love it." -Kris Sauer, Children's Literature And as if killer mermaids are not enough, there are sea monkeys. "Boys in particular will like the burping contests, gross creatures, and ridiculous choices that Terry and Andy make throughout the book. Young buddies Andy and Terry live together in the sort of tree house that kids dream about, complete with bowling alley, shark tank, vines to swing from, and underground laboratory." - Publishers Weekly, starred review "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. "Fans of Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Lincoln Peirce's Big Nate series will be drawn to this book, while parents will enjoy the absence of snarky humor." - School Library Journal And guess what? It makes for good tree house reading." - Booklist "A series starter that will appeal to fans of Jeff Kinney and Dav Pilkey. Best of all, Terry and Andy leave readers with a blueprint for a 39-story sequel." - Publishers Weekly, starred review Kids should be flipping pages faster than a pair of inflatable underpants can skyrocket the young heroes to safety (it's also an important plot point). Griffiths and Denton follow the uproarious The 13-Story Treehouse with another cartoon-laden carnival of slapstick and self-referential humor-this time, with pirates.Whether it's Jill and her menagerie of animals stacked precariously on a tiny iceberg or a giant, smelly fish head orbiting the Earth (it's an important plot point), Denton's furiously scrawled line drawings milk the silly, gross-out gags for everything they're worth. "Twice the treehouse, twice the fun? You bet. Can the 52-story model be far behind?" - Booklist Big Nose, the publisher, is impatient for more. "This zany sequel, as much cartoon illustration as text, is an almost nonstop adventure involving self-inflating underpants, fish with bad breath, sharks with zippered bellies, 78 flavors of ice cream, and several disasters, before its explosive finish. "Wildly humorous without being smart-alecky or sarcastic, this is a top choice for middle-grade readers." - School Library Journal Le informazioni nella sezione "Riassunto" possono far riferimento a edizioni diverse di questo titolo.

Welcome to The 39-Story Treehouse.What are you waiting for? Come on up! ![]() a Once-upon-a-time machine that will write and illustrate their entire book for them! And this year they will have even more time to jump on the world's highest trampoline, toast marshmallows in an active volcano, swim in the chocolate waterfall, pet baby dinosaurs, and go head-to-trunk with the Trunkinator, since Terry has created the greatest invention that he-or anyone else-has ever invented. Andy and Terry are once again inviting readers to come hang out with them in their astonishing 39-story treehouse (it used to be 13 stories, then 26 stories, but they keep expanding). ![]()
