Joseph Had a Little Overcoat
By Simms Taback
A resourceful and resilient tailor transforms his worn-out overcoat into smaller and smaller garments. The patchwork layout of the pages, the two-dimensional paint ings, and the exaggerated perspectives, reminiscent of the folk art tradition, are the very fabric that turn this overcoat into a story.
