PS
After each new character in the familiar cumulative rhyme is introduced, a rebus represents them in the text, making it easier for young children to follow along with the story. Readers can predict who will enter the story next by watching for visual clues. The small trim size of the book and the clear, vibrant colors and simple shapes of the artwork are appealing, showing the lively occurrences in the house that Jack built.
