The Better Tree Fort

In this subtle, humorous story, Kerrin explores the idea of keeping up with the Joneses--and what that means for the one kid with a tree fort. Leng's lighthearted watercolor illustrations show the unshakable bond between a father and son, as well as the delightful details of two tree forts. Full color. 1/2.
