Joseph Had a Little Overcoat

Joseph had a little overcoat, but it was full of holes--just like this book! When Joseph's coat got too old and shabby, he made it into a jacket. But what did he make it into after that? And after that? As children turn the pages of this book, they can use the die-cut holes to guess what Joseph will be making next from his amazing overcoat--while they laugh at the bold, cheerful artwork and learn that you can always make something, even out of nothing.

西姆斯·塔贝克（Simms Taback），是一位得过无数艺术方面大奖的艺术家，本身即是犹太人，为了将犹太文化在书中能有完整的呈现，不但重新研究犹太人的文化，更是在创作期间把自己完全沉浸在犹太音乐中，且以自己的形象来塑造故事主角 Joseph 的轮廓。
