Pelle has a lamb whose coat grows longer and longer, while Pelle's Sunday suit grows shorter! Pelle shears the lamb, and the wool is carded, spun, dyed and woven. Finally, the tailor makes a new suit for Pelle. This is a wonderful book to help children understand where their clothes come from and the traditional craft of working with wool. Pelle's sheep gives him wool for a new suit, grandmother spins it into yarn, grandfather dyes it, mother weaves it, and the tailor cuts and sews the suit while Pelle does errands for each.
