CHAPTER 1
THE 13-STORY
TREEHOUSE
Hi, my name is Andy.

This is my friend Terry.

We live in a tree.

Well, when I say “tree,” I mean
treehouse. And when I say “treehouse,”
I don’t mean any old treehouse—
I mean a 13-story treehouse!

As well as being our home, the treehouse is also
where we make books together. I write the words
and Terry draws the pictures.

doing this for quite a while now.
