Review
Using the familiar convention of "The House that Jack Built" rhyme and repetition, Metzger taps into the Halloween conventions to create a fun read-aloud perfect for this season. With a cast of many beasties and monsters, Metzger's clever rhymes paired with Lee's silly, pen and ink sketches are spot on. From the fun cover crowded with the characters trying to build this monster house to the satisfying conclusion this book is a sure-to-please addition both to rhyming stories and to books for your Halloween shelf.
Overall Book Score: very good
