The book tells the story of Pelle, who has a lamb of his own and a suit that is getting too small. Over the course of the book Pelle shears the lamb and then different people in his life help him to card the wool, spin the wool, dye the wool, weave the wool into cloth and finally make a suit out of it.
But. Not only does the book teach children, how clothes are made from wool - which by the way would be a great project to do with the children, who are being read this book (get some roving, have the children card it, spin it into yarn and have them weave it onto a small frame to make a coaster or little carpet)...no, the book also shows how Pelle always does something for the ones who help him in return for their help.
The big lesson of this book is this: When somebody does something for you, which YOU can't do by yourself - offer them your help with something THEY can't do by themselves in return. Give and take. And this big life lesson is taught in a very child friendly, beautifully illustrated way children will enjoy hearing and seeing over and over.
