(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rebecca Bond. In this story about the construction of the White House, each spread has two narrative styles: paragraphs on aspects such as building materials and budget alternate with a bouncy rhyming "House That Jack Built" verse, providing accessibility to the information. Bond's fresh watercolors complement the light rhythm of the cumulative lines. Back matter offers additional historical context. Reading list, websites. Bib.
