Josh's Treehouse: A Captain's Adventure by Patti Bateman Tracey is a 34-page long story about Josh and his first treehouse adventure. When he goes to visit his grandfather, he is shown a brand-new treehouse he can climb and enjoy. And enjoy he does, because wonders await him when he reaches the top. Suddenly, everything around him changes. He is no longer in his grandparents’ backyard, but now he is the captain of a sailing vessel with a mission to save a princess and claim treasure as his reward. The adventure is filled with promise, color, and fertile imagination.
The artwork in the story is filled with detail and color, drawing the reader in. This really helps to move the story along and keep younger readers engaged. The details described in the story, supported by the pictures, make the book a memorable one. There is much to be said about stirring a child’s imagination, and a book like this opens the doors wide. For not only is this treehouse magical, but it also brings about an experience like no other. It brings the promise to the reader that if there is something like this only on the first day, what else is there? Opening a genie bottle? Climbing Mount Everest? The list can go on and on. The author has skillfully opened a portal that children can move through and create their very own adventures. Josh's Treehouse: A Captain's Adventure by Patti Bateman Tracey is a clear winner and I hope that she pens many more adventures for Josh. Highly recommended.
It would be nice if every child had such a chance to enjoy the possibilities of imagination. I do own this book

What an exciting adventure aboard Josh’s Treehouse: A Captain’s Adventure! Outstanding artwork drew me into the book while the interesting story kept me entertained. Children will love the imaginative voyage aboard Josh’s Treehouse. Author Patti Bateman Tracey takes us on a journey involving pirates, a princess, treasure, and a treehouse. Both boys and girls will want to read this new book again and again. Teachers and parents will like the imaginative tale and the action-packed adventure. This wonderful story takes us on a trip that we may never experience again and you can be part of the sailing team. I think public and school libraries would benefit by having this adventure on their shelf.
The awe-inspiring, realistic illustrations fill alternating pages of Josh’s Treehouse: A Captain’s Adventure and help us to visualize the setting, at first a two-level treehouse, and later a pirate ship with blustery skies. The colorful images will draw students into the book while the story keeps them entertained. Will they rescue the princess? Will they defeat the pirates? Will they find the treasure chest filled with gold? Set sail on an excursion by joining the crew of Josh’s Treehouse. Venture into unknown territory and feast your eyes on the prize—a pirate’s treasure. Parents and children will enjoy reading this imaginative journey together or separately. Author Patti Bateman Tracey takes us on a cruise in a treehouse that encourages children to explore imaginative play to transform a treehouse into anything you want it to be. Where can a treehouse, blanket fort, or box take you? I can’t wait to see what other adventures we’ll have in Josh’s Treehouse!
