Fortunately, the books from long ago are new for today's children, including this sweet picture book called Pelle's New Clothes. The story was written and illustrated by the Swedish children's book author/illustrator Elsa Beskow (who lived from 1874 until 1953).
In her picture books she loved to tell stories about nature and the fairytale characters that lived there. Her books are still reprinted for today's children. Wonderful that her stories are preserved in this way.
Pelle is a sweet, smart boy who lives on a farm and has a lamb of his own to take care of. Pelle and the lamb grow up together. The lamb's coat grows longer and longer, but Pelle's clothes become shorter and shorter. What can Pelle do about it? Read it for yourself in this beautiful picture book.
