Someone has built a house, piece by piece. Was it Jack? Find out in this board book with a humorous twist on a 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.
Adorable illustrations by award-winner Mike Wohnoutka of a construction pup with a tool belt are sure to engage even the youngest dog-lover. Combined with the author's text that teases playfully with the images, Jack's House is a refreshingly fun take on the classic nursery rhyme, "This Is the House that Jack Built."
