I found this book interesting, explaining how a shirt grows in the field. A little boy wonders how a shirt can grow in a field from seeds and he watches everyday thinking. I will have a shirt from this? This book is a classic, I found out from reading the notes inside the book. I can see why. It explains every step it takes to make a shirt, from the seeds to the drying, threading, sewing, embroidery. The boy's excitement and curiousity gets the reader feeling the same anticipation. ( )

A little peasant boy watches and waits as the change of seasons and the harvest and treatment of the flax soon bring him a long promised new shirt.
