When Nicki loses the mitten that his grandmother had knitted for him, the woodland animals find it and crawl inside, each one larger than the last, but as the mitten stretches and grows, grandmother's knitting holds fast, until a tiny mouse proves to be too much.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully illustrated but I like Tresselt's version better,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mitten (Board book)
As a preschool teacher and a parent, I prefer the Tresselt version of this story. In Brett's version, the animals in the mitten each let the next one enter out of fear. I think this can be a dangerous lesson to teach young children. Tresselt's animals let each other in because they want to help them when they see them suffering from cold. I think it conveys more positive and humane values, and it also told with gentle wit and wisdom.

If you know a child who loves animals buy this book. Everyone cuddles together and gets along. This book is about a lost mitten but it really is a home for animals. Good reading and a fun book.

A few things you should know about 'The Mitten',
By
This review is from: Mitten (Board book)
In the deep Ukrainian wintertime, very little stirs.
But some are still awake in the snow - rabbits and foxes and bears. Nicki's missing mitten becomes home to various creatures, And he only gets it back when the big bear sneezes. Beautiful folkish drawings bring this humorous tale to life. But this board book version's ABRIDGED - so four stars only, not five.
