Pelle has a lamb whose coat grows longer and longer, while Pelle's suit grows shorter! Pelle shears his lamb but he doesn't know what to do next. Pelle offers to do chores and run errands for his family and neighbours in exchange for their help to card, spin, dye and weave the wool. When the fleece has finally been made a fine blue cloth, Pelle asks one last favour -- for the tailor to make it into a smart new suit. This is a delightful story from the world-renowned Swedish author--illustrator Elsa Beskow which will help young children understand bartering, traditional wool crafts and where our clothes come from. This wonderful new edition faithfully reproduces Beskow's classic illustrations in a collectable picture book featuring a unique hand-crafted design, premium-quality paper, gold foil signature and a luxurious cloth spine.

Owen ★★★★★

Reading about Pelle trading wool for a new suit sparked great conversations with my daughter about bartering and kindness. The soft, detailed illustrations of the old-fashioned village really brought the story to life.

Jacob ★★★★★

My kids love seeing how Pelle’s wool grows while he helps the family—the farm chores feel real and relatable. It’s a gentle lesson in patience and teamwork that even my five-year-old follows easily.

Lily P. ★★★★★

The way Pelle trades chores for help with his lamb's wool teaches real problem-solving, not just a story. My son asked to re-read it three times the first night, pointing at each new task Pelle completes.
