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. 

旧外套可以化腐朽为神奇变成精彩可爱的小东西。这本书取材于席姆斯?塔贝克Simms Taback年轻时的一首犹太歌曲:约瑟夫在他的外套破旧后，用这旧外套做成了一件夹克。当这件旧夹克缝缝补补多次时，他又把它改成了背心。背心不能再穿后，他又把它做成了一条领带。直到这件外套再也没有可改的余地。但是聪明的约瑟夫总是有办法！
本书最大的特色在于随着衣服上的补洞越来越多，书页上也出现越来越多的“洞”。 只要你翻动一页，就自然地意识到约瑟夫的外套又破了一个洞。而透过这些洞与绘者充满想象力、有趣的细节，交织成这本令人惊奇的绘本。
