Author-illustrator friends Andy and Terry (The 13-Story Treehouse, et al.) travel through time in this fifth installment. They must obtain a building permit that will save their treehouse from being demolished by a rhyming, bubble-wrap-obsessed building inspector, all before their next publishing deadline. Each plot-centric chapter is its own mini-adventure chock-full of action and absurd humor, including cheeky commentary from animals and silly, sketchlike cartoons.

When one of Terry's inventions hijacks the treehouse, the author-illustrator characters first introduced in The 13-Story Treehouse turn to Professor Stupido, an un-inventor. But the professor goes too far and un-invents everything! Andy and Terry must fix it--all before their next publishing deadline. This third humorous tale's absurdity will grab reluctant readers' attention. Sketchlike cartoons add extra silliness on every page.

Author friends Andy and Terry (The 13-Story Treehouse) have expanded their treehouse with floors that include a robot-run ice cream shop, skate ramp with crocodile pit, and an antigravity chamber. The tale of how they met and these adventures become the stories in their next book. Humorous illustrations fill the pages. Fans will rejoice: a concluding blueprint shows plans for another thirteen floors.

Inhabiting an amazing thirteen-story tree house with a bowling alley, shark tank, and underground laboratory, best friends and young authors Andy and Terry use the wild adventures that take place in their dwelling as fodder for their manuscript, which is overdue to their publisher. Comical illustrations pair perfectly with humorous text to make this Australian import a winner.

Not for the squeamish, this silly book includes a variety of gross and amusingly bad ideas, presented through comics, short stories, jokes, and nursery-rhyme parodies (e.g., "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Poo"). Fans of Captain Underpants and the Wimpy Kid will enjoy the exaggerated illustrations and body-centered humor, including a boy who literally loses his head.

Exploding cows begin and end these ten very short, kid-pleasing rhymed stories (which owe a debt to Dr. Seuss) for beginning readers. Slapstick humor and occasional edge (e.g., Mike's bike comes equipped with a long, nasty-looking spike) characterize the tales; the accompanying childlike black-and-white drawings add action and movement. Some type playfully shrinks and expands for emphasis.

Nine stories, each chock-full of one-syllable rhyming words and frenzied cartoon illustrations, pay homage to Dr. Seuss. A few passages catch the rhythms of the good doctor ("Out of the glue / flew Unlucky Lou. / Up into the air / she flew and flew!"), while others are more pedestrian ("The frog on a log / got in front of the dog!").
