This is the House that Jack Built
What happened in the house that Jack built? It all started with the cheese that lay in the house that Jack built. And then came the rat that ate the cheese and the cat who killed the rat. Caldecott Medal–winning author and illustrator Simms Taback brings his distinctive humor and creativity to the beloved story of Jack and the house that he built.

Downright hilarious . . . Children will love this book. (School Library Journal, starred review)

Taback puts a new house on the market and hits the nail on the head with this boisterous rollicking version. (Booklist, starred review)
