Joseph Had a Little Overcoat
By: Simms Taback
Simms Taback is the same author that wrote "The Woman Who Swallowed A Fly." Joseph, an old jewish man, has a very large overcoat. As the story begins the coat gets worn and he makes it into a smaller coat, then that gets worn, and he continues to make the coat into new clothing. It is the classic story of "something out of nothing." If you want to understand how Joseph makes something out of nothing you will have to read the book to find out! (They have it in the Gallaudet library.) This book has great pictures that will keep the students interested, as well as many activities to go along with this book. Enjoy!
Sounds interesting!! And the cover itself just looks like great pictures. Is this a Jewish story based down?
ReplyDeleteI LOVED when you read this book as a read aloud last semester ! This is a very interesting picture book which shows how important it is to re-use things this would be a great book to read when discussing being friendly to our earth
