This is my favorite book from when I was a little girl. The pictures and story line are so sweet and since growing out of this book I still read it every now and then. I recommend this book to parents looking for books for their children that are educational and entertaining. I love this book and have for twenty years!
Format:Paperback
I still have my raggedy copy of this book from when I was little. I still have great memories of reading this with my mum & talking about the naughty mouse on each page.
I'm so pleased this book is still in print so I can buy it for my daughter

An instant hit!

Format:Paperback
Charlie needs a cloak, and this book tells the story, from start to finish, of how he goes about to make one. It takes readers through the year, From spring sheep shearing through sewing by the winter fire, showing Charlie going through each step to create his own cloak from raw materials. The story is fun and educational, while the pictures are delightful telling a hidden story in themselves.
I highly reccomend this book to any family with young kids!

from white fleece to red cloak

Format:Paperback
Though it's rated at the pre-school level, I've found Charlie Needs a Cloak to be useful and entertaining for kids up to third grade. In my work as a museum educator, this delightful tale serves as a valuable intro to the world of pre-industrial textile production, especially in colonial America. The illustrations are humorous, which dePaola is famous for. Charlie needs a new cloak, and he takes the reader through the process of making one, from shearing his whimsical sheep, who help him with his work, to weaving, dyeing, and sewing the new garment. Too bad Charlie doesn't notice, as soon as he puts it on, that his favorite sheep is already chewing on his hem!

I haven't touched this book for 14 years, but I picked it up today while cleaning house, and decided to read it over. It was hilarious! I read it outloud three times in a row it was so sweet and charming.
