About This Book
Based on a Ukrainian folktale, a boy named Nicki drops his white mitten in the snow, and one by one, a parade of woodland animals crawl inside to stay warm - from a mole and a rabbit to a bear. Jan Brett's signature bordered illustrations show what's happening inside and outside the mitten simultaneously, building anticipation with each new arrival.
Why We Love This
An absolute winter classic in our house - the kids squeal with delight as each new animal squeezes into the mitten, and the side-panel illustrations reward careful looking on every single page.
