Book excerpt: Mack is the foreman who is building a house in this new three-dimentional pop-up board book. The cumulative text, based on the familiar rhyme 'This is the House that Mack Built', desribes each machine and process as it happens. There is the excavator and the 'cement mixer churning around, that poured the foundation into the ground'. There are the carpenters and the 'roofer, with balance so light, who nailed down the shingles nice and tight'. And of course Mack who oversees the whole construction. Ken Wilson-Max's dynamic illustrations and paper engineering pop-up on each spread bringing to life the building a house.
