Book of the Week: The Mitten

When a boy drops his new white mitten in the snow, he goes on without realizing it is missing, in this week's Book of the Week, The Mitten.

One by one, woodland animals find it and crawl in—a curious mole, a rabbit, a fox, and others, each one larger than the last. Finally, a big brown bear is followed in by a tiny brown mouse and what happens next makes for a hilarious climax.

Jan Brett's wonderfully illustrated adaptation of a Ukrainian folktale will have your children checking twice to make sure they haven't left their mitten behind.
