Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback
4.0
December 2014 - We've read this several times this month - I chose it the first time, and Ben has chosen it each time after that. He loves the fabric scraps on the endpapers, the buttons on the back cover, the coat, and he frequently points out several animals. I appreciate the rhythm of the repetition in the text, and the brevity. We spend longer looking at the pictures than it takes to read the text (I'm noticing all the mottoes on Joseph's walls and the use of photographs on some pages).
March 2018 - we hadn't read this in a long time, long enough that I think he forgot all about it and thought it was funny that he loved it as a baby/toddler. This time he was really interested in how the cutouts worked, and wanted to flip back and forth between all the versions of the coat.
