Barky the barking dog / Ten unlucky pirates
Little Treehouse Stories

Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton
Pan Australia
ISBN: 9781743532980 / ISBN: 9781743532973
RRP: $6.99

At the moment the Treehouse books from these two icons of popular Australian children’s literature, are cult reading. But they are not easy to read with disjointed texts and intricate illustrations; that is not a criticism, just an observation and a reason that many early readers aren’t reading them. These first titles in a new series called the Little Treehouse Stories resolves that. These are stories inspired by humorous vignettes from the longer books, designed especially to entertain early readers and Treehouse tragics and published in chapter book size. Coloured illustrations are a bonus! You can guess the
stories for yourselves. Look forward to more.
