Perfect amount of whimsy and imaginative craziness to please any child or adult. These books will most definitely turn children to reading which can only be a good thing. I will most definitely recommend this, and if I had to criticise anything it would be that at times the repetition and large pictures spanning many pages seem to be a device to fill more. That being said, it’s a children's book, it’s kind of what children's books need to be. I purchased this from a charity shop. It was 20p, and honestly, it’s one of the best 20p’s I’ve spent.

A fun "before bed" read with my two kids. They sometimes would moan and groan when it was time to read, but as I turned the pages and began to read aloud, they snuggled in closer and begged for "just one more chapter" at every reading session. We would start and stop, and sometimes life would get in the way, but we always made our way back to our reading time together. There is nothing more satisfying than sharing a love for the written word...and a few giggles too! On to the next book in the series! Thank you Andy and Terry for creating a fantastical world that amuses and bonds us as we read together!

My 6 year old son is absolutely loving this series and has already asked if I can buy him the rest of them. We’ve been reading them at bedtime and it’s been so lovely to see him engage with them.

This is the 3rd Treehouse book by Andy Griffiths, but if you have not read the previous two you will not be lost.
Andy and Terry have been asked to write a book, but they have taken too long and are only a day away from their dead-line. To save time they invent a machine to write the book for them. However, when they decide they want to write some of the book themselves the machine locks them out of their treehouse and takes over. Andy and Terry embark on a crazy adventure as they try to regain control of their treehouse.
Good for ages 8 and up. Will appeal to fans of Captain Underpants and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

So, if you invented a writing machine to write your book for you, only it decided that it could write it better than you could, so you had to go and find the world’s best un-inventor who was living on the moon and you brought him home only he un-invented marshmallows amongst other things, then you’d need a nice quiet and calm book to read.
