\nMy brother and I have been searching for a picture book that we were particularly fond of as children. I don\u2019t remember the title but it would have been published in the late 60\u2019s or early 70\u2019s. The story is about a boy (possibly named Keith) who has his father help him built a fort in a large tree in his back yard. Some neighbor children come by to play, and they end up adding their own structures to the tree. I remember one of the friends puts a big wash tub up in the tree and pretends to be an astronaut in a ship. Some girls bring their dolls up in the tree and make a tent with a blanket or some kind of hammock. There\u2019s also a plank that they stand on that is supposed to be a raft? Maybe one of the kids was a pirate? Not sure, but before you know it, all the neighborhood children are playing in the tree. I can still see the illustrations in my mind\u2019s eye and and would recognize it if I saw it. Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
