Summary In this retelling of a traditional Jewish folktale, Joseph's baby blanket is transformed into ever smaller items as he grows until there is nothing left--but then Joseph has an idea.
Note "The paintings were done in oil and egg tempera on gessoed D'Arches satin finish watercolour paper. Beginning with a colored imprimatura (a thin layer of reddish ochre paint wiped on with a rag) the paintings were built up in alternating layers of egg tempera and oil glazes"--Title page verso
