best books for fans of the 13 storey treehouse

If you like the 13-Storey Treehouse Series, try these…

The Treehouse books form an enormously popular children’s book series by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton. The series features a fun-loving pair of friends who live in an imaginative treehouse with lots of fun extra rooms. As the series progresses, the treehouse expands and before long contains everything from a movie theatre, dinosaur petting zoo, marshmallow-toasting volcano and a ninja snail academy. Highly illustrated with comic-style line drawings, treehouse diagrams and speech bubbles, these books are popular with children aged 7 to 10. The high image-to-text ratio coupled with its wacky sense of humour have helped the series to earn its reputation for hooking children into reading.

It’s no surprise that many teachers and parents whose children are hooked ask us for what to read next after the Treehouse books. We’ve put together a list of ten books like the 13 Storey Treehouse. Readers who love getting silly with the absurd humour of the Treehouse stories could also try Dave Pigeon or Bunny vs Monkey. For children looking for more stories featuring plenty of comic-style line illustrations and not too much writing on each page, try Max and the Midknights or Murray and Bun. If you like laugh-out-loud action to entertain you while you read, try A Monster Ate My Packed Lunch and Fairy vs Wizard, or you might like to try the graphic novels Stitch Head or Peng and Spanners.

best books for children who love you chooseIf you’re looking for books like You Choose, try these…

The You Choose books have seen enormous popularity and are well-loved by children because of the premise of letting the reader choose items from an appealing illustrated scene on each page. Readers are invited to select their favourite food, destination, clothing, hobby and family from a mix of plausible and not-so-plausible cartoon options, illustrated by the inimitable Nick Sharratt. These engaging books have mileage to be read over and over again, and children love interacting with them together with friends or family as they discuss their choices.

Although there is nothing that can quite take the place of these fantastically engaging books, we’ve compiled a list of ten similar books for fans of You Choose. Children looking for more books that put readers’ decisions at the heart might like to try Pick a Story or Which Food Will You Choose. For more books with pages filled with a multitude of smaller pictures to pore over and choose between, try the transport-themed We Catch the Bus or Why Do We Wear Clothes?. If you’re searching for more read-it-again books with interactive mix-and-match elements try Mixed Up Fairy Tales or Story Path, or for a simple this-or-that discussion, dive into all the fun of John Burningham’s Would You Rather.
