The 104-Storey Treehouse
The 104-Storey Treehouse is the eighth book of Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton's wacky treehouse adventures, where the laugh-out-loud story is told through a combination of text and fantastic cartoon-style illustrations.
If you haven't yet discovered the Treehouse Storey series you're in for a treat. It's a brilliantly funny, quirky series with tons of illustrations and my nine year old son is absolutely ADDICTED to it. If you like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, you'll love this series too.
