Tree House Descriptive Passage Written with Fourth Graders

We built our tree house in our backyard, which gave

us lots of space. When you walk by our house, you

can't miss the tree house, because it's very tall--

and it's also brightly striped with red and white, just

like a candy cane. The door is square and made

out of non-perishable gingerbread. In fact, the

whole tree house is edible, which means that we will

have a big candy feast after Christmas is over.

To get into the tree house, you climb a ladder made

out of really, really hard gingerbread. Once inside,

you're rewarded by the sweet smell of fresh-baked

cookies, gingerbread, and candy canes.
