Cuckooland’s Guide to Bedtime Stories: The Treehouse Collection
Is there anything more fun than a treehouse? Or a treehouse bed, we think not! This wonderful building of creation and determination is the central point to a lot of childhood memories. Which is why the humble treehouse features so prominently in many bedtime stories. So snuggle up and take a look at our treehouse inspired bedtime story collection.
Every single one of us at some point in our childhood tried (and probably) failed to build a treehouse. Whether it was a sheet thrown over a bunk bed or a ‘health and safety nightmare’ of a hammer and nail thrown at a tree in the back garden, the humble treehouse was an important part of our childhood. It’s easy to see why; a small space where imagination and adventure reign, a place away from reality where anything could happen including the odd trip to A&E for a tetanus shot (those rusty nails always seemed to ruin the fun). No matter what your childhood treehouse looked like, it was a safe haven where you could test the limits of your creativity as well as logic/gravity.
Our latest bedtime story collection has been inspired by the truly awesome Adventure Treehouse Bunk Bed with Slide. This fantastic (and very safe) structure is comprised of an authentic treehouse and lower deck, ideal for little boys or girls who are sharing a room. The Treehouse Bunk Bed is made of splinter free MDF and pine making it perfect for little monkeys who love to climb and slide. To further ensure your little monkeys are truly inspired, and for your nostalgic pleasure, we have also listed our top treehouse related books below.
