Books with title This Is The House That Jack Built

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

One by one young readers meet the creatures that live in Drac’s house--a bat, a werewolf, a monster, a mummy, a zombie, and other frightful monsters. They chase, wrestle, and roar until the doorbell rings and in walks a group of fearless trick-or-treaters who know exactly what to do. Clever, repetitive text--a playful adaptation of the popular nursery rhyme about the house that Jack built--and creepy paintings are sure to make this a spooky favorite for years to come. “The skillfully executed artwork adds a zesty dollop of suspense to a familiar storyline.”--The Horn Book

One of a series of classic Victorian children's books by the British artist and author. Caldecott was the eponym of the Caldecott Medal and transformed the world of children's books in the Victorian era. He exercised his art chiefly in book illustrations, which were full of life, and instinct with a kindly, graceful humour. The stories and rhymes were all of his choosing and in some cases were written or added to by himself.

In her gorgeously illustrated picture book for young children, author Emma A. Karoline puts a fresh coat of paint on a two hundred and fifty-year-old structure and creates something delightfully brand new. Much more than simply another reiteration of the oft-told events surrounding The House that Jack Built, Karoline’s This is the Treehouse that Tom Built offers a new cycle of actions and reactions featuring both human beings and animals of the forest, providing children with a glimpse into the natural world that little ones have always found fascinating. Here is the new take on a cherished nursery rhyme that parents and librarians have long been waiting for—a read-aloud treat that belongs in every child’s collection alongside Goodnight Moon.
