Treehouses

Want a fun summer storytime? How about stories featuring treehouses? Most kids would love to have a treehouse of their own, and these books show the various kinds of treehouses. For a craft project, kids could make a treehouse diorama or even just a 2-dimentional poster of what they would have in their own treehouse.
