'Andy always narrates the Treehouse stories. That's because Terry is the illustrator and 'illustrators can't narrate-everybody knows that!'

Everyone except Terry, that is.

He can tell a story too. Just watch what he can do.

A dot that joins up with some lines.
Some lines that join up with some shapes.
Some shapes that go ... KABLAM!

And that's just the beginning of the Trouble in the Treehouse.' (Source: Publisher's blurb)
