This is charming. It's based, according to an author's note at the back, on a Yiddish folk song that's basically about recycling useless things into something else. In this instance, a worn-out coat gets made into a jacket, then a waistcoat, then a scarf, and so on. Which is all nice enough, but the stand-out element of the book are the illustrations. They're a sort of bright patchwork cut-out mix (I'm not an artist, if there's a name for this type of thing I don't know it). Anyway, they're wonderful.
