The House That Nick Built Deborah Newton

"The House That Nick Built" is a cumulative tale with a rhythmic pattern similar to a book called "The House That Jack Built" by Mother Goose, a classic from many years ago. It tells the story of Christmas activity at the North Pole and beyond so vividly that children feel a part of the action. The rhythm and the repetition make the book a great way to teach word recognition and a fun read for young and old alike. Children two to six will enjoy 'reading' this book with a parent or a grandparent. Kids seven to one hundred will just love reading it over and over. In "The House That Nick Built" the rhythm will appeal to all readers while the repetition will challenge them as one verse builds upon another. This is a new kind of Christmas story that will be a great read for all.
