Andy and Terry are back again, with an even bigger treehouse.  It comes fully loaded with its own desert island and a submarine sandwich shop that makes sandwiches the size of actual submarines.  There is also a mysterious big red button that could be disastrous, or not, because no one can remember what it does.  Andy and Terry are babysitting Mr. Big Nose’s three grandchildren for the day and of course things get pretty dicey, because how much trouble can three children be?

If you are fans of the Treehouse series, then this one won’t disappoint. The pictures and text are fun and go together well.  If this is your first Treehouse book, then think random storylines on acid strung together.  Young kids will probably love the random weirdness, though it may leave adults scratching their heads.
