A rollicking, rhyming, fun rendition of a favourite folksong about a many-times recycled coat. 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! Jim Aylesworth's satisfying retelling and Barbara McClintock's heart-warming pictures celebrate how Grandfather cleverly recycles his beloved coat through four generations.
