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

By Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton

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 do: 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?

Praise for Andy Griffiths and the Treehouse series:

"Anarchic absurdity at its best. . . . Denton's manic cartooning captures every twist and turn in hilarious detail." —Publishers Weekly, starred review, on The 13-Story Treehouse

"Will appeal to fans of Jeff Kinney and Dav Pilkey. . . . The wonderfully random slapstick humor is tailor-made for reluctant readers. . . . A treat for all." —Booklist on The 13-Story Treehouse

THE 104-STORY TREEHOUSE

Hi, my name is Andy (moan).

Q  Who am I?

A  Andy. (I just told you that!)

---

This is my friend Terry (groan).

We live in a tree (moan, groan).

---

Q  What did the rock say when it rolled into the tree?

A  Nothing—rocks don’t talk.

---

Well, when I say tree, I mean treehouse. And when I say treehouse, I don’t just mean any old treehouse—I mean a 104-story treehouse! (It used to be a 91-story treehouse, but we’ve added another 13 stories.)

So what are you waiting for? Come on up!

---

Q  Which side of a tree has the most leaves?

A  The outside.

---

Q  How did the idiot get hurt raking leaves?

A  He fell out of the tree.

---

It’s got a stupid-hat level,

a money-making machine (that also makes honey),

---

Q  Where does Dracula keep his money?

A  In a blood bank.

---

a never-ending staircase,

a Two-Dollar Shop (there’s nothing over two dollars),

---

Q  How do shells get around in the ocean?

A  Taxi-crabs.

---

a Two-Million-Dollar Shop (there’s nothing under two million dollars),

a refrigerator-throwing range (with a refrigerator-vending machine so we never run out of refrigerators),

---

Q  Why did the boy fall off his bike?

A  Because his mother threw a fridge at him.

---

a bunfighting level (with a bun-vending machine so we never run out of buns),

A  Bunny.

Mount Everest,

a burp bank,

Q  What was the tallest mountain in the world before Mount Everest was discovered?

A  Mount Everest, of course.

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

As you can see (groan), we’ve been doing this for quite a while now.

---

Q  Why did the fly fall off the wall?

A  Because it had a piano tied to its leg.

There are, of course, a lot of distractions in a 104-story treehouse (moan) …

Q  What’s gray?

A  A melted penguin.

---

but somehow we always get our book written in the end (groan).

---

Q  Why did the boy throw his clock out the window?

A  Because he wanted to see time fly.

CHAPTER 2

ANDY’S ACHING TOOTHACHE

If you’re like most of our readers (moan), you’re probably wondering (groan) why I’m moaning and groaning so much. Well, the reason is I’ve got a really bad toothache.

Hi, Andy, says Terry, prancing toward me with a couple of lambs by his side. "What a lovely day it is in our beautiful sunny meadow full of buttercups, butterflies, and

Reviews for The 104-Story Treehouse

[Lesley Knapp · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book was funny! I like the squid the best. Although I can't believe Andy and Terry couldn't figure out that the tooth was causing all of their problems. I can't wait to read the 117 Story Treehouse next! ~ Revan and Story (age 7)
