Jack's House

Here's a new version of the classic cumulative tale, The House That Jack Built. Here we see the story from the viewpoint of Max, a very talented dog who designs and builds Jack's house. We also get an up-close look at all of the tractors, trucks, and other construction equipment used to build the house. But in a surprise ending, readers will find that Max is the real homeowner! Written by Karen Magnuson Beil, with illustrations by Minnesota's Mike Wohnoutka, this will be enjoyed by preschool and early reader boys especially.
