About the Book



When Joseph's overcoat got too shabby, he kept making a variety of garments from this one article of clothing. By flipping the pages, children can guess what Joseph will be making next. Color illustrations throughout.



Book Synopsis



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.

I ordered this book to give as a gift. I received it on time but the story line was not correct. Two pages say the same thing and one part of the story line is completely missing. I would not order from this site again.
