Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback
5.0
A charming story of reusing old objects and enjoying time with your friends and family. As Joseph's overcoat becomes worn, it's turned into a jacket, a vest, a scarf, and so on down. The story ends with the musical score, so you can read again with a better rhythm. Just prepare for your kids to want this read multiple times if they think they can get you singing with them!
Of course, in addition to just being entertaining, you could use this as part of a lesson on preservation and reusing items about your house. Especially important in our very throwaway culture.
Given that this was published in 1999, it would have been odd for this book to YouTube to play for your little ones. It would be nice if future publications of this contained a link to the song, even if it was just the tune, for parents to sing along. For now, though, this is fine.
