The Fort That Jack Built

32 pp. | Abrams | September, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4197-0795-7 $17.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Brett Helquist. Jack assembles a fort out of household items without asking permission. One by one, his family members reclaim their possessions, taking down the fort. Luckily Grandma is willing to share, helping Jack see a more effective approach to building. The cumulative "House That Jack Built" rhymes are peppy, and Helquist's homey oil paintings in muted tones capture the action of imaginative play.
