Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback

4.0

We borrowed this book because of how much I liked Simm Taback's other medal winner [b:There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly|205330|There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly|Simms Taback|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172674507s/205330.jpg|198687] (which we discovered during story time at preschool). It's quite the special book, thanks to the unique illustrations which accompany this traditional story. I suppose some kids may find them rather dark, however they are certain to be intrigued by the cut-outs of the pages, which track how the overcoat transforms. So, overall a fun book, although it may not appeal to every body.
