Description
With a new spin on an old theme (remember "The House That Jack Built"?), this jolly story is the perfect picture-book choice for beginning readers.
About the authors
In her latest book with Orca,Queen Nadine, Maryann Kovalski has once again blended the unique voice and warm-and-bouncy artwork that has made her a favorite across the country. She has illustrated over twenty titles, six of which she also wrote. Her touching Brenda and Edward has become a Canadian classic and her illustrations for The Big Storm by Rhea Tregebov earned her a Governer General's Award nomination. Best-selling collaborations include Mable Murple with Sheree Fitch and Princess Prunella and the Purple Peanut with Margeret Atwood.
Editorial Reviews
A perfect preschool read-aloud, this combines a rhythmic text with folksy pictures well executed in soft pastels.
The food chain described - farmer, seed, corn, hen, egg, etc. - begs to be read aloud. And what about Mack, who ate the cake? He provides a surprise ending that will delight audiences, for Mack is the farmer’s large, playful dog. A welcome addition to picture book collections.
