know they serve a pedagogical purpose, but cumulative tales have always felt tedious and irksome to me.
And of course The House that Jack Built is the granddaddy of all cumulative tales, That said, Mayo's art is cheerful and engaging,st grade. quick read. I really enjoyed how the story introduced the characters and replace the words with illustrations, This is the house that Jack built, . . this was one of my favorite poems when I was a child thanks to my great grandmother who read it to me as many times as I asked.
The illustations in the book are similar to the one I knew as a child, which makes this particular one my personal favorite.
It is a fun poem that is repetitive, easy to get tongue tied over, and is most fun when read quickly with lots of sounds added or when acted out.
As each character comes onto the scene a new child can come forward and play the part of the cheese, the mouse, the cat, the maid, and all the others.
While I'm sure the repetition is great for little ones, it got on my nerves pretty quick, It doesn't help that I had to read it abouttimes in one day, Great treatment of an old favorite, Ky and Mia liked this! We enjoyed this book version of the classic rhyme with illustrations cleverly supplying clues to the next character yet also including the past characters.
Half the fun was looking for how they were placed upon the scenery, Colorful illustrations. Text dances around the page, 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.
