The Tree House that Jack Built is a children's book by Bonnie Verburg, with art by Mark Teague, published in 2014. It is available at the Internet Archive.
Here is a YouTube read-along:
The story is told in traditional "Jack" style: it starts with a fly that buzzes by, then a lizard that snaps at the fly, a parrot who pecks at the lizard, and so on. But the book does not follow a strict "Jack" formula from start to finish. For example, there are some verses interjected that are not part of the chain, as you can see here:
There is also a "story time" interlude, where Jack tells the animals a story, and then a new chain starts up at the end as the story winds down and Jack goes to bed.
This is not my favorite story, but the illustrations are very nice, with lots of details to discuss if you are reading the book together with a child.
