Reviews
K-Gr 2—"The House That Jack Built" gets a remodel when monsters, including a vampire, a ghost, a mummy, a witch, a black cat, a black widow spider, bats, and Frankenstein, move in. Although reminiscent of the source material, this has a definite Halloween bent. The mummy raises a wall. The werewolf puts in a door. The skeleton nails down the floor. The witch is cooking her "brew." The zombie screams, and the ghost shouts "boo!" This causes the bats to fly about. Of course, all of this action is in rhyme. The characters in the brightly colored illustrations possess varying degrees of scariness, though the spider's markings are more artistically drawn than those that would be found in a field guide. The spread showing the ghost shouting "boo!" is especially effective in its creepiness. VERDICT A great choice for a primary grade Halloween storytime.—Elaine Lesh Morgan, formerly at Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR
