Treehouse Tales – Author Andy Griffiths – Illustrated by Terry Denton<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have young readers in your house and have heard of Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton, there\u2019s a chance you\u2019ve been awaiting the release of this book, their latest funny story collection, Treehouse Tales, which just came out in March (2022). Their previous works, including the ever\u2013popular Treehouse Series \u2013 that centres around a magical ever\u2013expanding treehouse full of wild and wonderful nooks \u2013 has had children in stitches for years. My two children are still little, so this latest one, Treehouse Tales, is the first book of Andy and Terry\u2019s to come into our repertoire. We read the kids some of the stories at bedtime a few weeks back and they were both in stitches \u2013 sometimes rolling off the bed and onto the floor! One story \u2013 The Day We Put Chairs Up Our Noses \u2013 is a particular favourite and since the first reading is almost always requested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book includes 13 brand new stories, \u201ctoo silly to be told\u2026until now!\u201d. The tales are short enough that they are perfect for little attention spans, but there\u2019s enough of them that you can keep the laughs going if the mood strikes!
The stories include quirky illustrations on every page. Plus, another feature I liked is the large size of the font. All the font used is quite large, but some words and short sentences are even bigger than the rest \u2013 and in bold. This is great for little ones that might be starting to recognise a few words and older children that are starting to read their first longer books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve really enjoyed seeing the kids giggle at bedtime \u2013 it\u2019s such a nice way to connect after a busy day. I have a feeling we will be going through the Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton back catalogue too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy reading families!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
