The House that Jack Built

The classic rhyme about the many inhabitants of "The House That Jack Built", complemented by Randoph Caldecott’s fine illustrations. Working in both pen-and-ink and color, Caldecott fills out the words of the rhyme with a loving attention to detail that will captivate even the most reluctant reader. A must-see, at any age.
