Summary

«The House that Jack Built» is a standard of juvenile literature that delights children and adults alike with the increasingly lengthy sentences, stretched to the breaking point, that make up its narrative. Through a chain of events, beginning with a rodent eating some grain and culminating in a festive wedding, children learn that playing with grammar can be fun! You can read along with this recording by linking to the facsimile edition of an 1880 publication at the <a=href=«www.childrenslibrary.org/icdl/SaveBook?bookid=___hous_00360082&lang=English»>Children's Digital Library
