Treehouse #8

The 104-Story Treehouse: Dental Dramas & Jokes Galore!

Rate this book
New York Times- bestselling team Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton invite readers to come hang out with them in their 104-Story Treehouse―the eighth book in the illustrated chapter book series filled with Andy and Terry's signature slapstick humor!

Andy and Terry live in a 104-story treehouse. (It used to be a 91-story treehouse, but they decided it was still missing a few things.) It has a never-ending staircase, a burp bank, a deep-thoughts thinking room, Mount Everest, a mighty fortress reinforced with extra-strong fortress reinforcer, and a money-making machine (that also makes honey!).

When Andy has a toothache that hurts so bad he can’t write any jokes for their new book, Terry knows just what to buy a Joke Writer 2000™ to write the jokes for them! All they need first is some money from their money-making machine and then it’s off to the store. It’s a foolproof plan―a Terry-proof one, even!

What could go wrong?

خانه درختی ۱۰۴ طبقه از مجموعه کتابای خانه درختی به قلم اندی گریفیتس و تصویرگری تری دنتون عه!
داستانی طنز درباره خانه درختی اندی و تریه که تو اون همه چیز ممکنه و هیچ چیز غیر ممکن نیست!
کتاب فضای کودکانه، جذاب و خنده داری داره که آخر هر صفحه یک سری چیستان و جوک در قالب سوال و جوابای بامزه اومده!
برخلاف حجم زیاد کتاب اکثر صفحات نقاشیه و در حد چند جمله یا چند خط نوشته داره که به نظرم این یه ویژگی خوبه که بچه ها به کتاب خوندن علاقه مند شن، چون خسته کننده نیست براشون.
این کتاب رو انتشارات هوپا چاپ کرده و برای گروه سنی ج یعنی ۱۰ تا ۱۵ سال مناسب تره، اما من توصیه میکنم اگه برای هدیه دادن (عیدی بدید به بچه های فامیل ایده خوبیه!) گرفتیدش، قبلش خود شما هم بخونید :-"
به نظرم کتابای زمان ما خیلی ساده تر بود، و خوشحالم که این همه تنوع کتاب تو ژانرای مختلف برای کودکان و نوجوانان زیاد شده.
پ.ن۱: خواهر کوچیک من ۲ جلد دیگه این کتاب رو داره و خیلی دوسشون داره، همیشه موقع خوندش میخنده و هی میاد به من نشون میده لذا ترغیب شدم بخونم!
پ.ن۲: درسته گفتم ده تا پونزده اما چون متن‌ش کمه به‌نظرم برای کلاس اول و دومیا خوبه، و خب خیلی خوب

Dynamic Duo Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton’s hugely successful treehouse series has collected quite the cult following. This is reflected in this latest and the eighth instalment of the series, which has sky rocketed up to the top of the bestselling children’s book charts. A quick scan of the charts also reveals that the previous editions of this series also feature heavily. It is safe to say that The 104-Storey Treehouse is the most anticipated children’s book of 2018.

Further expansion to the popular treehouse, devised by author Andy Griffiths and illustrator Terry Denton, has occurred. The amazing treehouse now stands at 104 storeys tall. This time around the zany adventures continue. Readers can expect to discover joke writing pens, money making machines, bun fights, a massive toothache, a never ending staircase, some burping fun and plenty of bears! Follow Andy, Terry, Jill and the mean Mr Big Nose for yet another wacky adventure. Just try not to get tangled up in the wild escapades of The 104-Storey Treehouse!

There was much excitement in my household as Mr 8 and myself welcomed the brand new treehouse adventure, which marks the eighth in the bestselling series. There is no denying the popularity of these books, readers eagerly await the next issue in the series every year. Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton are a winning combination. With Andy’s finesse in the writing side of things, Terry Denton takes care of the illustrations. These two work in harmony, so what always arises is one fantastical adventure!

What really worked for us with this particular instalment was the use of the jokes included at the bottom of each page. We looked forward to each new joke, they were hilarious! We were pleased to share around and add these jokes to our repertoire. What an extra fun touch to an already funny read!

Content wise, The 104-Storey Treehouse is packed full of slapstick situations, sticky fixes and ludicrous binds that Andy, Terry and Jill must negotiate. It all turns out in the end, despite the looming threat of Mr Big Nose and after quite the adventure. A sneak peek page of the next book, The 117-Storey Treehouse, is sure to incite plenty of excitement for next year’s release.

The 104-Storey Treehouse is guaranteed to be a big hit in classrooms and family homes across the country.

*I wish to thank Pan Macmillan for providing me with a free copy of this book for review purposes.

If your readers enjoyed the other tree house stories then they'll love this. As an adult I felt there was lots of padding of wasted pages bit the kids enjoyed it as much as any of the others and are hoping for another.

I would recommend this book to my friends as it has lots of good, fun bits. It is the best book I've ever read. My two favourite bits are when they get stuck in the tangled up room and when they go to the $2 shop.
Sophie

I really liked the new storeys of the treehouse because they are so creative. My favourite are was the honey and money machine. I would recommend it to my friends because they'd like the very funny parts like the bun fight and the many jokes. I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
Turab

I like the book because of the new additions of jokes and riddles at the bottom of the pages which adds extra humour to it. I would recommend it to my friends because they too have a great sense of humour. I would give it 5 out of 5 stars.
Kaysia

I really liked the whole episode with the fairy who took Terry's tooth and the tiny steam powered crane that takes it out of the jug to launch it from a cannon. I think my friends would like the bit with the giant foot or the big armchair that transports them around. I would think the tangled-up level may have been hard to illustrate. 5 out of 5 stars.

AS a kid, there was nothing more exciting than visiting a friend's house only to find they had a treehouse. Having one of those bad boys made you instantly popular among your peers. You were literally the king of your own castle and held dominion over your subjects. Okay, maybe it wasn't all that grand, but that is exactly how it felt.

The next book in this series follows the daring duo as they try to not only pen their own novel but cure Andy of his serious toothache. What children will enjoy is searching each storey and page for the ongoings of the treehouse's residents. Each level includes some wacky contraption, from the tangle storey, the fridge-throwing storey and the honey money maker storey.

Another plus is that at the bottom of each page there is a question and a joke answer. Children will find these hilarious. Adults will see them for what they truly are, bad dad jokes.

What Andy and Terry have created is a series of treehouse novels spanning eight books and two spin-off fun books for children between 9 to 12 years. After giving this book a read, I would recommend it for a much younger target audience. It would be perfect to read to your five-year-old child before bedtime and something that kids from seven to nine should be able to pick up and enjoy on their own.

The English is simple, the pages are packed with detailed and wacky drawings and there are hidden gems on each storey the duo visit.

This book the 104 story treehouse it is a really cool and a good book with laughs and also suspense. Also, The treehouse series you really do not have to read the whole series because every single book has different and unique stories but just every time they just add extra 13 stories to every new or out a coming book.

So this book would be my first choice for little kids or maybe also primary to secondary people because some words might be a little hard for little kids but still one of the best books I ever read.

This book was better than I expected. It is actually carefully structured, all the rooms mentioned at the beginning of the story in the tree house are utilised by the end of the story. My students love the illustrations, jokes on each page and main characters. This is another hit in my classroom.

I had always liked the Treehouse books. I like how all the missions connect to getting the two dollars for the Joke Writer 2000. Andy and Terry’s adventures are weird but exciting. Jill is probably the hero in this book. I mean, she was the one who helped Andy and Terry calm down the bun-fighting bears, help them get Andy’s tooth back, and she also helped deliver the book to Mr. Bignose’s office.
I also really liked the jokes in it. The were way funnier than the not understandable knock knock jokes little sister and her little friends like to make. My favorite one was, “ Q: Why did the third koala fall out of the tree? A: Because he thought it was a game and joined in.”
You know, in every book series, every new book is somehow better than the last one. I’m always keeping track of the new Treehouse books, yet I still haven’t read the brand-new one, The 117 Story Treehouse. I ENJOYED IT...

104-Story Treehouse by Andy Griffiths, illustrated by TerryDenton, 351 pages. Feiwel and Friends (Macmillan), 2018, $14.

Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content G; Violence: G;

BUYING ADVISORY: EL – OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Andy and Terry have another adventure in their fantastical treehouse. In this 8thadventure, they try to fix Andy’s toothache and purchase a Joke Writer 2000 pencil to help them write their latest book. That’s the plot in a nutshell.

If this is your first foray into the treehouse series, you don’t need any previous novels to get the plot. There really isn’t much plot. In fact, this one seemed weaker on plot than other treehouse books, since 26 pages are literally nothing but Andy and Terry climbing upstairs to get to get to a bird’s nest, and an 18 page poem about the tooth fairy visiting Terry. If you’re a fan, then you know what you’re in for and you’ll love it. Otherwise the pictures are actually more fun than the writing.

My son, Kaden (age 9) says:
"I love how each new book has more levels to explore, characters to meet and adventures to go on. This series is one of my favorite because it's for all children, boys and girls and there are lots of books in the series but you should read them in order.
My favorite part in the book is when Andy and Terry were trying to make money from the machine and it got stuck on honey. It was funny! I would give this book all the stars!"

Not one of the best ones.

It felt a bit rough because it felt like their running out of jokes and their is a lot of "filler pages".

Imagine living in a treehouse with 104 floors! In The 104-Story Treehouse, Andy, Terry, and Jill are three friends who are authors and live in this incredible place. Each level of the treehouse is unique; there is a deep-thinking room, a meadow, and even a refrigerator throwing range. The trio is asked to write another book for their series, but Andy has a serious toothache and does not feel comical enough to write. In order to get their book finished, Andy, Terry and Jill go to immense lengths to stick to their writing deadline. They make money using the money-making machine, sell Andy’s aching tooth to the tooth fairy, and purchase a Joke Writer 2000 in order to make their book perfect. When the book is finished, all three friends are happy with their final product and the adventure they had to go through in order to make it happen.

The 104-Story Treehouse has many similarities to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Super Diaper Baby series. Even though the book is lengthy, with 351 pages, there are more pictures than text on each page so young readers will not find it too challenging to read. The storyline is basic as well; even though there are many adventures it is easy to follow. While the plot is simple, it might take readers some time to get used to the format. With the small amount of text and large illustrations, which are extremely detailed and many include word bubbles from smaller characters, it can be difficult for the reader to focus on the events. Additionally, since the three main characters are creating a joke book for their publisher, each page features a joke. The jokes are not funny, though. For example: What’s big and red and eats big rocks? A big red rock-eater. Many young readers will enjoy this silly story and imagine their own adventures in a 104-story treehouse.

104th Story Treehouse(spoiler!)
Alex Park
Hi, guys, my name is Alex, and today, I am gonna review the 104 Story Treehouse. Before we get started, please subscribe! Also, there is a spoiler! Then let’s get started.

In this book, there is one boy called Andy. He is the narrator, and he is also one of the main characters. He always narrates who are they, what they do, and where there live. I said they because he works, and lives together. Andy writes the story. In the story, Andy’s teeth are heart. Andy needs to write the story, but he couldn’t concentrate because he had a roasted tooth, and it was so hearted. So he needed a special pen that makes people happy, so he went to 2 dollar store. But all of them were sold out. So he went to 2000 dollar stores. He asked for the pen. But he did not have money. So he wants to the money-making launcher. But there was also honey making launcher in there next to the money launcher. So he warned terry to not press the honey launcher. But when 1000 dollars came out, terry pressed the honey launcher so the money launcher was broken. So he went to the 2 dollar store and Andy bought 1000 and 2 dollars with 2 dollars. And with that money, they bought a special pen, and they wrote the story and the story Ended. All of them mather because of that showed how Andy wrote the story even Andy’s thees in roasted.

The author used the 1st character perspective because Andy declared as “I” in the story.

The point of view is that even Andy’s teeth were roasted and it hearts a lot, he bought the special pen and wrote the story.

This book is just as entertaining and unique as the others. I liked all the clever jokes at the bottom of each page. I liked their interpretation of the tooth fairy. We looked up the author/illustrated in real life and they look just like their cartoon characters. And Jill is Andy’s wife I think.

SPOILERS and book notes:
On every bottom of the page there is a sarcastic joke relative to the subject on the page. One funny joke: “why do birds fly south? Bc it’s too far to walk.” I love the silly hat room. I love the bun fighting level. Where you throw all kinds of buns at each other. That would be fun. I love that there is a two dollar shop AND a two million dollar shop and they sell the same things bahah. Also I love all the unique pens they both sell. Treys favorite is the “wise old owls” that spout out nonsense words that they call “wisdom”. This time it was “Roly! Poly! Poop Poop!” He cackled at that for dayzzzz. Mr Big nose put their book into super fast production so they could read to the 100 bears before they hibernated. The production: 1. Editors edit text 2. The designer designs the pages, cover, then converts them to electronic files 3. The printer prints it 4. The pages are cut 5. The pages are glued together 6. The cover is put on. I love their interpretation of the tooth fairy in the story. She has a crane and a money making machine she brings with her to collect the tooth.

Thirteen more stories have been added to this amazing treehouse, and there's always room for more levels, as fans of the series know. In this, the eighth title in the series, Andy is plagued by a toothache, and finds it hard to think, much less write. Terry persuades him that buying a Joke Writer 2000 is the answer to their problems. But the trouble is that they don't have enough money to purchase the thing. Featuring birds, bears, honey, and lots of money from their Money-Making Machine, this book will deliver exactly what fans of the series have come to expect--lots of humor, outlandish schemes, a rescue from quick-thinking Jill, and delivering the manuscript to the publisher just in time. I also liked how there are jokes along the bottom of each page, and most of them relate to what's going on in the book at that moment. Although it's hard to imagine a tree or a treehouse that is this enormous, reading the book is entertaining, if nothing else. Things just never quite work out for Andy and Terry, but the book still has a happy ending.

The 104-Story Treehouse" is another fantastic addition to Andy Griffiths' wacky and imaginative series! This time, Andy and Terry take us on an adventure filled with laugh-out-loud dental dramas, wacky inventions, and the kind of absurd humor that kids (and adults) love. The storytelling is fast-paced, the illustrations add extra fun, and the jokes are perfectly silly.


One of the funniest parts involves a trip to the dentist that goes completely off the rails. It reminded me how important good dental care is in real life—whether for a simple cleaning or something more advanced like dental implants Fort Lauderdale. But don't worry, the book's dental mishaps are all in good fun!


If you enjoy zany adventures and non-stop laughs, this book is a must-read. Perfect for young readers and anyone who loves a wildly creative story!
