This Is the Tree House That Tom Built

In her gorgeously illustrated picture book for young children, author Emma A. Karoline puts a fresh coat of paint on a two hundred and fifty-year-old structure and creates something delightfully brand new. Much more than simply another reiteration of the oft-told events surrounding The House that Jack Built, Karoline's This is the Treehouse that Tom Built offers a new cycle of actions and reactions featuring both human beings and animals of the forest, providing children with a glimpse into the natural world that little ones have always found fascinating. Here is the new take on a cherished nursery rhyme that parents and librarians have long been waiting for--a read-aloud treat that belongs in every child's collection alongside Goodnight Moon.
