PreS-K—This merry take on the cumulative verses of "The House That Jack Built" features a mouse, an elf, a reindeer, a snowman, a boy, a girl, a baby, and, of course, Santa. Young readers can get in on the action thanks to the pairing of sound effects or movements such as "creak, creak," "squeak, squeak," "hee, hee," "stomp, stomp," "jingle, jingle," and "thumpety thump." The cut- and torn-paper collage illustrations are bright and humorous. Share this one at holiday storytimes and encourage the audience to join in on the fun.—Diane Olivo-Posner, Los Angeles Public Library
