Create Your Own Free Story ✨The Library Treehouse
A brave girl loved visiting the little library at the edge of the Whispering Woods. Today, she noticed something very strange while looking for her favorite book about tall trees. The shelf was empty, and there were tiny paw prints and a few bits of acorn shells left behind. A brave girl realized that many big, colorful books were missing from the nature section. She decided to investigate and find out where the library books had gone.
Professor Hoot Says:
"Libraries use a special system called the Dewey Decimal System to organize books so you can find them easily."

A brave girl followed a trail of shiny silver bookmarks that shimmered on the forest floor like fallen stars. The trail led her deep into the woods until she reached the oldest, tallest oak tree in the whole forest. High up in the branches, she saw something colorful peeking out from between the green leaves. It was not a bird nest or a beehive; it looked like the hard covers of the missing library books! A brave girl took a deep breath and began to climb the sturdy wooden ladder someone had built.

"Oak trees can live for over 1,000 years and grow very strong roots to stay standing."

When she reached the top, A brave girl met a very busy squirrel named Nutty. Nutty the Squirrel was a small, fluffy red squirrel with a very bushy tail and a tiny green bowtie. He was using the thick library books as walls and a roof for a very fancy treehouse. Nutty explained that he wanted a sturdy home just like the ones in the pictures, but he did not have any wood. A brave girl looked at the beautiful books and saw they were getting a little bit dusty and sticky with tree sap.
Professor Hoot Says:
"Red squirrels are known for being very energetic and can jump up to ten times their body length."

Books are for reading and sharing, not for building walls, A brave girl said gently to her new friend. Nutty the Squirrel looked sad because he did not want his new home to fall apart, but he also loved the stories inside the books. A brave girl promised that if they returned the books to the library, she would help him build a real house made of twigs and bark. Nutty agreed, and together A brave girl and Nutty the Squirrel carefully lowered the books down from the branches using a basket and some vine.
Professor Hoot Says:
"Tree sap is a sticky liquid that carries nutrients through a tree, but it can be hard to clean off of paper."

For the rest of the afternoon, A brave girl and Nutty the Squirrel worked hard to build a magnificent house out of fallen branches and soft moss. It was the perfect size for a squirrel, and it smelled like fresh pine needles instead of old paper. After the work was done, they walked back to the library together to return all the books. Now, Nutty the Squirrel visits the library every day to read about architecture, and A brave girl always saves him a seat at the window. They both learned that books are the best tools for building big dreams.
Professor Hoot Says:
"Architecture is the art and science of designing and engineering large structures and buildings."
