Hi, Jack! - (Jack Book) by Mac Barnett (Hardcover)

About the Book

A impish rabbit takes a purse--and a lipstick--from a grey-haired lady and uses them and Rex, a dog, to get into mischief.

Book Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Mac Barnett and Geisel Award-winning illustrator Greg Pizzoli, an uproarious early reader series about a mischievous rabbit, a cranky old lady, and a lovable dog.

Meet Jack: He lives in a tree house. His interests include snacks, petty theft, and lipstick graffiti. Jack also loves his friends, he just has a funny way of showing it sometimes . . .

A perfect read-aloud with snappy, rhythmic text, this series will bridge the gap between picture books and chapter books and fill the Elephant-and-Piggie-shaped hole in young readers' hearts.

Review Quotes

★ "Barnett works wonders with a limited vocabulary, packing the stories with humor, tension--and admonishments of Jack. Pizzoli's scruffy-edged, emotive cartoons are just as funny, and he carries the comedy into drawing lessons and closing endpapers." -Publishers Weekly, starred review

★ "Jack is a rule-proof bundle of bunny-eared id who does as he pleases, and therein lies his considerable charm." -BCCB, starred review

"This series title will be a surefire hit with readers who love Mo Willems's Elephant & Piggie books." -School Library Journal
