This one needs to be a lap read as well as a storybook read.

Because my kiddos would have enjoyed guessing what wardrobe item was going to be made each time the article of clothing got "old and worn."

I need to do this book more often. ( )

I can read this book to help students know that they can make something out of nothing.

The age level would be Primary.
The book is about a man who starts off with an overcoat but slowly turns it into different pieces of fashion as it gets worn down.
I would recommend this book because of its illustration and because to talk about different types of illustration and art shown in books. This would be a good beginner's book to read because it is very simple and easy, it also has a good message "you can turn nothing/anything into something.

Every page shows a new way that Joseph can reuse a piece of clothing that gets old and worn. He starts with an overcoat and never runs out of ideas even though the amount of material keeps getting smaller and smaller. This book uses die-cut holes in a unique way that is both visible and sometimes a little invisible too. Younger children will enjoy the repetition of certain, predictable phrases and older children will enjoy the mix of art techniques. ( )
