Book Description

9 Aug 2005
Flip the flaps, open a fun foldout, and peek inside a final pop-up to find out what happens when everyone's favorite storybook characters move into THE HOUSE THAT JILL BUILT.

Jill's house is so cozy and warm that all her nursery-rhyme friends are knocking on the door, asking for a room of their own. As Jill cheerfully obliges, her house grows and grows, but somehow there's less and less room for poor Jill and her cat! Her new tenants are running amok — there's Little Jack Horner playing checkers with one Little Kitten, while Old Mother Hubbard's dog shoots the breeze with Bo Peep's tea-drinking sheep. With a singsong text by Phyllis Root and quirky, comic illustrations by Delphine Durand, this interactive romp offers dozens of doors and windows to peek under, a spectacular foldout to open, and a final pop-up surprise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jill Builds A Beautiful Storybook House 23 Oct 2007
By 80sLady - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Jill builds a house for her and her cat. Along comes Little Jack Horner, Old Mother Hubbard, the Three Little Kittens (who've lost their mittens), Little Bo Peep, The Three Bears, and The Dish (who ran away with the Spoon) and they all want rooms in Jill's house. Jill adds onto her house so that everyone has their own space.

The illustrations include flaps in the windows which open to reveal the characters performing various tasks arounds the house. The last page features a pop-up of Jill's house. The roof opens out and shows what is inside the house.

This story is a lovely rendition of "The House That Jack Built", featuring classic fairytale characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 5 year old son's favorite book 17 Sep 2009
By MeterMaid - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is a really funny book with quirky looking characters and lots of inside jokes. Every time we read it, we find something new in one of the "rooms". I think I find this book as entertaining as my son does. We've kept coming back to it over the course of 2+ years - something I can't say for most other children's books. In fact, the reason I came to amazon.com today was to see if I could find any other books by phyllis root illustrated by delphine durand.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Illustrations, wonderful story! 24 Jan 2012

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This story is short but very cute, and Delphine Durand's illustrations are absolutely incredible! This book is a hidden gem. It is interactive, humorous, intriguing to look at (again and again), and has very cute verse and a cute concept by the author. I love it!
