** "The House That Jack Built" by Randolph Caldecott is a captivating children's picture book from the late 1800s that uses catchy words and fun pictures to grab kids' attention. The story is like a building block game, where each page adds a new person or thing that's connected to what came before, starting with the house Jack made. Little by little, we meet the rat that ate the grains, the cat that hunted the rat, and a dog that bothered the cat, bringing the story to a farmer planting seeds for the rooster's food. The book mixes colorful drawings with the text, making it super fun for kids to read along and explore the pictures. **
