This charming variation on the much-loved classic story about the house that Jack built is sure to delight young and old. It begins with the plankton that floats in the oceans around Australia. Along comes a fish that eats the plankton, but it in turn is chased by a dolphin, and so the story continues.

Children will love following the words and pictures that tell this twisty tale, and the repetition will encourage them join in the telling. Along the way, they’ll see how everything and everyone is connected in this world.
