Review Quotes:
Andy Griffiths and the Treehouse series:
"Anarchic absurdity at its best. . . . Denton's manic cartooning captures every twist and turn in hilarious detail." --
Publishers Weekly,
starred review on
The 13-Story Treehouse "Will appeal to fans of Jeff Kinney and Dav Pilkey . . . The wonderfully random slapstick humor is tailor-made for reluctant readers . . . A treat for all." --
Booklist on
The 13-Story Treehouse "Twice the treehouse, twice the fun? You bet. . . . Denton's furiously scrawled line drawings milk the silly, gross-out gags for everything they're worth. Kids should be flipping pages faster than a pair of inflatable underpants can skyrocket the young heroes to safety." --
Publishers Weekly, starred review on
The 26-Story Treehouse "This zany sequel, as much cartoon illustration as text, is an almost nonstop adventure." --
Booklist on
The 26-Story Treehouse "Middle-grade boys in particular will get a huge chortle out of this book, and there is enough going on to support classroom discussion about physics, chemistry and other physical sciences. The story is simplistic enough to appeal to reluctant readers, but amusing enough to hold better readers' interest." --
