The House that Jack Built 


The House That Jack Built 
By Unknown 


“The House that Jack Built” is a standard of juvenile literature that delights 
children and adults alike with the increasingly lengthy sentences, stretched 
to the breaking point, that make up its narrative. Through a chain of 
events, beginning with a rodent eating some grain and culminating in a 
festive wedding, children learn that playing with grammar can be fun!
