In this book a troop of children tired of living in a house go through four wonderful forts that all fall apart on them before finally returning home with a treasure from each one. I love all the forts they make!

A group of children decide that they are tired of living in a house so they pack up their stuff and go into the woods and try living in a bunch of different places like a cave, in a tree, on a raft, etc but eventually they decide to go back home and live there.

The kids didn't want to live in the house anymore, so they packed their things, and went to go live in the tree they liked. But then they didn't like the tree anymore so they packed their things again and moved.

ordered from white pine but they probably won't share

This story is about siblings that decided to live outside their home and explore different places.
This book is great to use as a questioning tool because it makes students think about the events that are happening in the story and make them think of what would happen next.
