And when I say treehouse, I dont just mean any old treehouseI mean a 78-storey treehouse! (It used to be a 65-storey treehouse, but weve added another 13 storeys.) So what are you waiting for? Come on up! Its got a drive-thru car wash (that you can drive through with the windows open and the roof down), a combining machine, a not-so-tight tightrope, a 78-plate-spinning level, a giant unhatched egg, a courtroom with a robot judge called Edward Gavelhead, a scribbletorium, Andyland (a land full of Andy clones created in our cloning machine), Terrytown (a crazy town full of Terry clones), Jillville (a village full of Jills), an ALL-BALL sports stadium (where you can play every ball sport in the whole world all at the same time), an open-air movie theatre with a super-giant screen, and a high-security potato chip storage facility protected by 1000 loaded mousetraps, 100 laser beams, a 10-tonne weight and one very angry duck. 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, weve been doing this for quite a while now. Sure, things can get crazy when you live in a 78-storey treehouse But we always get our book written in the end somehow.

Well guess what? Were making one right now! Weve got lights cameras chairs with our names on the backs and a big shot Hollywood movie director called Mr Big Shot calling the shots CUT! yells Mr Big Shot. Thats BORING! But thats how I always start the book, I say. This is NOT a book, barks Mr Big Shot through his megaphone. Its a MOVIE! Well, yes, I say, I know that and you know that, but I was just explaining it to the readers Readers? barks Mr Big Shot. Im not interested in readers! I make MOVIES for movie fans who want ACTION, EXCITEMENT and THRILLS, not talking! Who are you, anyway? Im
