About this ebook
New York Times-bestselling team Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton invite readers to come hang out with them in their 91-Story Treehouse—the seventh book in the illustrated chapter book series filled with Andy and Terry's signature slapstick humor!
Andy and Terry live in a 91-story treehouse. (It used to be a 78-story treehouse, but they keep getting ideas for new stories!) It has a submarine sandwich shop that serves sandwiches the size of actual submarines, an air-traffic control tower, a human pinball machine, a spin-and-win prize wheel, a giant spider web—with a giant spider!— and a big red button, which they’re not sure whether to push or not because they can’t remember what it does.
Good thing there’s so many fun things to do in the treehouse, because Andy and Terry get stuck babysitting Mr. Big Nose’s three grandchildren for the day.
After all, how much trouble could they possibly get into in just one day?
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
"Twice the treehouse, twice the fun? You bet. . . . Denton's furiously scrawled line drawings milk the silly, gross-out gags for everything they're worth. Kids should be flipping pages faster than a pair of inflatable underpants can skyrocket the young heroes to safety." —Publishers Weekly, starred review, on The 26-Story Treehouse

The 91-Story Treehouse - Andy Griffiths
CHAPTER 1
THE 91-STORY TREEHOUSE
Hi, my name is Andy.
This is my friend Terry.
We live in a tree.
Well, when I say tree,
I mean treehouse. And when I say treehouse,
I don’t just mean any old treehouse—I mean a 91-story treehouse! (It used to be a 78-story treehouse, but we’ve added another 13 stories.)
So what are you waiting for?
Come on up!
It’s got a tent with a fortune-teller called Madame Know-It-All,
a submarine sandwich shop that serves sandwiches the size of actual submarines,
the world’s most powerful whirlpool,
a mashed-potato-and-gravy train,
a spin-and-win prize wheel,
a trophy room,
a human pinball machine,
an air-traffic control tower,
a 91-story house of cards,
a giant spiderweb (with a giant spider!),
a desert island,
a garbage dump (with a mysterious old wardrobe on top),
and a big red button (which we’re not sure whether to push or not because we can’t remember what it does).
As well as being our home, the treehouse is also where we make books together. I write the words, and Terry draws the pictures.
As you can see, we’ve been doing this for quite a while now.
Sure, it’s easy to get distracted when you live in a 91-story treehouse …
but, somehow, we always get our book written in the end.
CHAPTER 2
Madame Know-It-All
If you’re like most of our readers, you’re probably wondering what that big red button is for.
Yeah, I’ve been wondering about that, too,
says Terry. "What does it do, Andy? I can’t remember."
I don’t know,
I say. I can’t remember, either.
Then let’s push it and find out!
says Terry.
No!
I say. For all we know it might be one of those buttons that blows up the whole world!
But then again,
says Terry, "it might be one of those buttons that makes a rainbow come out of your nose."
Well, yes, maybe,
I say, but do you really think it’s worth the risk of blowing up the whole world just to see if a rainbow comes out of your nose?
Um,
says Terry, "let me think about that for a moment … um …
Yes?
says Terry.
NO!
I say. "That’s the WRONG answer! Whatever you do, DO NOT push that
