<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s build a tree fort,&#8221; Russell says to his dad when they move into a house with a big maple tree in the backyard. His dad doesn&#8217;t know much about building, but he gamely follows Russell&#8217;s plan. Several trips to the lumber store later, the tree fort is done. There is no slide, balcony or skylight like Russell imagined, but it is perfect &#8212; right up until he notices another tree fort going up three houses over.</p><p>When Russell goes over to investigate, he meets Warren, whose bigger tree fort has castle turrets and working lights. Russell is in awe until it dawns on him that it&#8217;s not worth worrying about who has the better tree fort when he has a loving dad there to build one with him.</p><p>In this subtle, humorous story, Jessica Scott Kerrin explores the idea of keeping up with the Joneses &#8212; and what that means when you&#8217;re a kid with a tree fort. Qin Leng&#8217;s lighthearted watercolor illustrations show the unshakeable bond between a father and son, as well as the delightful details of two tree forts.</p>
