Jack and Jill's Treehouse is a children's book by Pamela Duncan Edwards, with art by Henry Cole, published in 2008. It is available at the Internet Archive.

And the ending is just: HOORAY for the treehouse that Jack and Jill built!
This is a great example of an ultra-simple "Jack" story: only two-beat lines, no rhymes, narrating a series of events, one after the other, and the story is about realistic, everyday events — this really could be a treehouse. The innovative twist is the rebus design element!
