Description
These are the hands, small but strong,
That moulded and shaped the spire’s great form?
At once familiar and fresh, The Sandcastle that Jack Built is a lyrical and playful version of the traditional nursery rhyme.
This day, we are at the beach, and the house that Jack builds, step by step, is a sandcastle. But while the sandcastle grows, a storm draws closer and closer, and finally, a wave swamps Jack’s creation.
Luckily, the best thing about sandcastles is that you can always build a better one tomorrow!
In this updated classic, Judith Graves’s beautiful text is perfectly accompanied by rich, vivid illustrations from renowned Island artist Maurice Bernard.
