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 cast 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. 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)
