Review Quotes

The 26-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

This zany sequel, as much cartoon illustration as text, is an almost nonstop adventure. --Booklist

The 13-Story Treehouse:
Anarchic absurdity at its best.... Denton's manic cartooning captures every twist and turn in hilarious detail. --Publishers Weekly, starred review

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
