The House That Jack Built
Eleanor Ehrhardt, New York, New York, 1973
Description
The pages of this book actually grow as the characters of this Mother Goose rhyme crowd into Jack’s house. The first page is very tiny, but each succeeding page is larger than the one before until the full cast appears on the biggest. The type grows in size, too. And on every page, the illustration fits into a panoramic background formed by the larger ones behind it.
