This classic children's rhyme gathers pace and complexity as it tumbles across the pages. Children will delight in repeating the rhymes and following the antics of animals and characters of every shape and size.
编辑推荐 Amazon.com Bringing back a repetitive rhyme from the old school, illustrator (and kids' book first-timer) Diana Mayo populates a house and the surrounding farm with all manner of cats, cows, and crowing cocks.
Not everyone's going to remember this rhyming story word for word (especially many kids), but a few lines should begin to refresh most memories: "This the house that Jack built. / This is the malt / That lay in the house that Jack built. / This is the rat / That ate the malt / That lay in the house that Jack built." Kids will enjoy chiming in on the repetition from there, as the story builds to include a cat (to chase the rat), a dog (to worry the cat), a cow with a crumpled horn (to toss the dog), and a cast of others, all the way up to 10 lines in the end. There's even a love interest to keep you guessing: What will happen to the "maiden all forlorn"? Will the "shaven and shorn" priest wake up in time to marry her to the "man all tattered and torn"?
The rhyme is a classic, and a good one. And Mayo's fun style carries the characters and their interrelationships energetically, with clean compositions and bold colors that make the progression easy to follow. (Although that dog who keeps getting tossed by the cow seems to be having just a little too much fun.) (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
专业书评 From Publishers Weekly
icture book newcomer Diana Mayo gives a fresh coat of paint to The House That Jack Built. She illustrates the time-honored cumulative rhyme with crisp lines, detailed vistas and zesty colors, and the human expressions on the beleaguered animals add to the fun.

--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Booklist Age 2-5. Here's a version of a classic that grown-ups will want to share with young children; it's an "oh-I-remember-that-one" winner. The bold folk-style acrylic illustrations with their whimsical details perfectly match the situations in the rhyme. The malt, rat, cat, dog, and cow are all present, of course, as are the forlorn maiden, the tattered and torn man, the shaven and shorn priest. What's special here is the dog, a little Boston Terrier, who plays a surprisingly comical role. Each time he gets tossed by the cow with the crumpled horn, he goes head-over-heels with an expression that's utterly priceless. Big and bold as the pictures are, they encourage close attention to detail. And of course, children will relish repeating the rhymes as they gather pace in this rollicking, bounce-on-the-knee classic.
