![]() ![]() ![]() Every inch of space is crammed with fanciful, funny details, such as the headline on a discarded newspaper: "Fiddler on Roof Falls off Roof." Taback, esteemed creator of the Caldecott Honor-winning There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly and the classic Too Much Noise, has produced a picture book that is as well turned out as its dapper hero. The illustrations are striking, created with gouache, watercolor, collage, pencil, and ink. As more and more holes appear in Joseph's coat, die-cut holes appear on the pages, hinting at each next manifestation. Based on a Yiddish song from Simms Taback's youth (lyrics and music reproduced on the last page), the book is filled with rhythms and arresting colors that will delight every reader.
