Cuando Sof�a sue�a que el viento se lleva los pelajes y las plumas de sus amigos animales, ella comparte algunas de sus ropas con ellos. Pero su ropa no les funciona bien. Vi�ndoles su decepci�n, ella se ofrece a coserle a cada uno el abrigo "correcto". Los animales se ponen en fila para explicar lo que necesitan y el por qu�. El oso polar necesita un abrigo blanco para mantenerse tibio y esconderse en la nieve. El pez necesita escamas, pero con baba. Tambi�n la serpiente necesita escamas, pero secas. �Y, c�mo le har� Sof�a un abrigo con p�as al puerco esp�n? El equipo galardonado de Halfmann y Klein (La cola azul de la peque�a lagartija) se re�ne para mostrarnos la cobertura de los animales (y las clasificaciones) en una forma muy imaginativa.
