Review
By Book Links

Using the rhyme ‘The House That Jack Built’ as a framework, this combination poetry-informational title relates the fascinating story of the renowned Juan Quezada and the people of Mata Ortiz, Mexico, who created pots inspired by the ancient designs of Casas Grandes potters. Diaz’s illustrations effectively evoke the Mexican countryside, and the rhymes and informational text are authentic and engaging.
