Bookroo's summary
In a playful twist on a classic rhyme, a house is built with cement mixers, bulldozers, and forklifts. Jack claims it as his own, but a weary puppy has a different story. As the tale unfolds, discover who really did the work and the role of each machine, from clearing land to delivering a backyard hammock. Is Jack's claim true, or does the puppy hold the key to the real builder's identity? Dive into this humorous tale of construction and credit, where getting what you work for takes on a whole new meaning.
From the publisher
Construction-equipment loving boys will adore this humourous twist on the classic nursery rhyme. Someone has done a lot of work building a house. Someone has been operating a cement mixer, driving a bulldozer, and using a forklift to build walls, frame windows, and nail down a roof. Someone has built a big, strong home for Jack. But is this the house that Jack built? One tired puppy dog disagrees in this story about getting what you work for.
