"Cumulative verses and onomatopoeia build on a lighthearted Halloween theme. . . . while a collection of cut- and torn-paper collages and variation of colorful fonts create textured and detailed cartoons . . ."
-School Library Journal
Dianne de Las Casas and Holly Stone-Barker do it again in this delightful Christmas version of the classic The House That Jack Built. Everyone is welcome in the house that Santa has built-with a little help from de Las Casas and Stone-Barker! Layers of cut-paper snow blanket the pages of this jolly holiday tale. Join the merry collage of characters as they dance across Santa's front yard, behind ornament-filled trees, around colorfully wrapped presents, and beside Santa's bright house. Descriptive sounds repeated on each page will enchant even the youngest listeners as they follow along squeaking, stomping, creaking, and clapping with the jolly parade of visitors at Santa's North Pole abode!
