This Is the House That Jack Built

Caldecott Award-winner Simms Taback infuses this favorite children’s rhyme with his distinctive, creative flair and humor. His Jack builds a house like no other and fills it with cheeses from all nations, which of course attracts the rat that stirs up the cat. Taback takes the usual case of characters in this classic cumulative rhyme and presents each in a funny new light that will keep readers laughing. His addition at the end neatly fits an appropriate character into Jack’s story and makes his telling even more unique.
