Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback
5.0
2000 Caldecott
A very colorful book kids will love. A very unique book based on a yiddish song (in the back - notes, cords, lyrics). The overcoat gets worn out, so cut off the worn part to salvage a jacket. Then a vest, then tie, then button. Every-other-page in the book has the pattern cut out yet hidden. When you turn the page, you see the object in the color of the original Overcoat.
It has a great ending with a moral: you can always make something out of nothing.
Kids are sure to love this.
I note that my library has this as a book on CD. Why? Caldecott winners MUST be seen!
I kind-of want to check it out to see how they sell it. Maybe the CD actually has a PDF file that launches.
