About the Book

Rhythmic text combines with delightfully entertaining illustrations in this humorous story for construction-loving kids about getting what you work for.

Someone has done a lot of work. Someone has been driving a bulldozer, operating a cement mixer, and using a forklift to build a big, strong home for Jack. But is this the house that Jack built? One tired puppy dog disagrees.

"Delivers in spades." —Kirkus Reviews

"A wonderful twist on an age-old rhyme. . . . . This beguiling book will be a hit both at storytimes and in circulating collections, for those who really want to know how Jack's house got built." —School Library Journal
