A rollicking, rhyming, fun rendition of a favorite folksong about a many-times recycled coat -- by the award-winning, bestselling team of Jim Aylesworth and Barbara McClintock.
Sydney Taylor Award Winner

A moving tale of love and regeneration. --The New York Times

When my grandfather came to America
he made himself a handsome coat
Then he wore it and he wore it and he wore it--
until it was all worn out
So what did he do?

He snipped and he clipped--
and he stitched and he sewed. . .
and out of the still-good cloth of his coat--
he made himself a smart jacket

How many things can Grandfather make
out of that old frayed coat?

Jim Aylesworth's satisfying retelling and Barbara McClintock's heart-warming pictures celebrate the clever recycling of a beloved coat that lasts four generations -- until it becomes this story

Very nice suit set. size 12. seems to fit as expected. I love the quality. It does have multi colored thread, as it is not solid.

Great suit
Size: 12, Color: Sky Blue
Love the color the material and the fit. My son used it for his 1st communion and the suit was a hit. I did not use the gold tie. We bought him a bow tie that he picked. We got so many compliments.
