In an enchanting tale about the titular city, Sterer envisions a sylvan world "of peace and dreams and cheer" among the treetops. Loose rhymes provide an alliterative map of Treehouse Town and its inhabitants--a jolly mix of companionable animals and children of varied abilities and skin tones, "Every creature's equal here, / free from worry, free from fear," and Mylie's detailed, page-filling drawings embed numerous mini-dramas into absorbing scenes. With a school, library, arial "birdball" court, and much more, the verdant village feels fully imagined. After taking a "Tulip Train" down "Lizard Lane," the characters slide through sycamores to an arboreal kitchen where they prepare a banquet. Even as stormy emotions threaten to disrupt the idyll, the merry villagers find their way back to a paradisiacal equilibrium. It all adds up to an inspired utopia that's well suited to dendrophiles. Ages 4-8. (Feb.)
