Taback works into his folk art a menagerie of wide-eyed animals witnessing the overcoat's transformation, miniature photographs superimposed on paintings and some clever asides reproduced in small print (a wall hanging declares, ""Better to have an ugly patch than a beautiful hole"" a newspaper headline announces, ""Fiddler on Roof Falls off Roof""). Still, it's the bustling mixed-media artwork, highlighted by the strategically placed die-cuts, that steals the show. ![]() you can always make something out of nothing,"" writes Taback, who wryly slips himself into his story by depicting Joseph creating a dummy for the book that readers are holding. The author puts a droll spin on his narrative when Joseph loses the last remnant of the coat-a button-and decides to make a book about it. A flip of the page allows children to peek through to subsequent spreads as Joseph's tailoring produces items of decreasing size. 1,336 reviews Joseph had a little overcoat, but it was full of holes-just like this book When Josephs coat got too old and shabby, he made it into a jacket.This diverting, sequential story unravels as swiftly as the threads of Joseph's well-loved, patch-covered plaid coat.

I would recommend this to anybody who likes a mystery or fiction. ![]() I didn’t know that this was the second book in a series but I still really enjoyed it. I read Spaced Out (Moon Base Alpha #2) by Stuart Gibbs. This book also ends with a clue of where the story might be going next. Like the first book, this one reveals some surprising information outside of the immediate mystery but also doesn't really answer all of the reader's questions. Dash doesn't do anything that's totally unrealistic for a twelve-year-old to do, but his critical thinking skills are remarkable.

Twelve-year-old Dashiell solved the base's last mystery, but this one is trickier than ever. MBA's commander, strict and militaristic Nina, has suddenly gone missing. Another mystery is afoot at Moon Base Alpha, the first human habitation on the moon. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Easy to use: PTC has invested millions of development dollars and thousands of development hours to make Creo intuitive and easy to use.You may not use all of these technologies today, but Creo has them available when you need them.
