ABOUT THE COVER
     What’s the color of that little dog?” asked cover artist, Don Childers. That detail, along with the structural elements of the treehouse pictured on the cover, can be seen in this summery setting. You can read about the real treehouse by Dorothy Ainsworth on page 8. In the article, she gives information about the materials used to make it safe and long-lasting. She talks about maintaining the health of the tree during the building process. Kids, dogs, a great treehouse to climb in…what more could one hope for.
