Mittens

Chapter One

Once there was a boy named Nicki. He wanted mittens as white as snow.

"If you drop a white mitten in the snow, it will be hard to find," his grandmother told him.

But Nicki wanted snow-white mittens so much that Baba made them for him.

When she finished knitting, Nicki trot on the mittens and went out to play.

It wasn't long before one mitten fell off.

A little mole found it and crawled inside. It was just the right size, so he decided to stay.

A rabbit came hopping by. He wiggled in next to the mole.

A hedgehog wanted to get warm. The mole and the rabbit made room for him.

The owl didn't want to be left out. So the mole, the rabbit, and the hedgehog had to move over. The little mitten was getting crowded.

A badger looked out of his house and saw the mitten. He climbed right in.

It started to snow, so a fox pushed his way in and made himself right at home.

Then a big bear sniffed at the mitten. The animals were packed in tight, but the bear didn't care.

He crawled in anyway. The mitten was getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

Then a tiny mouse squeezed in and perched herself on the big bear's nose.

The mouse's whiskers tickled the bear's nose. "Aaaaa-aaaaa-ca-chew!" the bear sneezed. All the animals flew out of the mitten.

    A very enjoyable story to read over and over again

    Beautifully illustrated Ukrainian story about a little boy who loses
    one of the mittens that his grandmother knitted for him. With time
    one by one animals find their way into the mitten to keep warm.
    The ending is delightful. The illustrations are colorful and
    will delight children with the progression of animals "moving in."

    We Love the Mitten by Jan Brett!

    We like this book because it has lots of interesting forest animals in it. Since we are from Texas we don't get to see snow very much, but Jan Brett puts so much detail into her pictures that we feel like we are in the snow too! In this story a boy asks for snow white mittens. He loses one in the snow. The animals begin to go into the mitten and it gets crowded. Read this great story to find out what happens inside!

    Beautiful book and story!

    I love Jan Brett's illustrations and this is one of my favorites! My 3 year old and 1 year old both love me to read this book out loud and always laugh when the little mouse gets on the bear's nose and makes him sneeze. This is a great book for anytime, even though it is set during the winter, and in fact I picked up an extra one to give to my nieces. One of the best books we own - definitely worth the money!

    A VERRRRRY STRETCHY MITTEN!

    I purchased this charming Ukrainian Folktale book for the purpose of "telling" it to children ages 7 and 8 at a DPS elementary school where I do storytelling once a month to five classes of combined first/second grade students. However, for kids in this age group, I felt it was necessary to enlarge quite a bit upon the basic story line, which was actually quite easy to do with Baba and Nicki's characters, and even more so with each of the unexpected variety of animals who manage to squeeze their way into that verrry stretchy mitten! My young listeners remained happily engaged and responsive throughout the 'telling' and were also delighted with the marvelous illustrations, which I showed afterwards. The clever illustrations on the sides of each page of this book actually could tell the basic story without the use words at all!

    Love this book

    We adore Jan Brett books in this house, but "The Mitten" is a particular favorite. ("The Hat" is a close second.) A great story about a boy who begs his grandmother to knit him white mittens with the promise he will not lose them. Of course, he loses one, but many woodland friends find it and make it their home. Classic folk story style illustrations with clever hints of what's to come in the sidebar illustrations.

    Ukrainian students love it!

    The bilingual children from Ukraine, Russia and Moldava loved this book when I read it to them. I told them that it was based on an Ukrainian folktale and they were so happy to hear this! Although they could not understand all the words in English, they did comprehend the detailed pictures and they laughed very hard. Laughter is a universal language !

    Jan Brett is in a league of her own

    I absolutely love Jan Brett's books. The detail is just fantastic. Often along the edge of the page there is a hint what will be coming up on the next page. Sometimes her books are rewrites of old tales and sometimes she tells her own stories. Either way, they are special books. Children who cannot handle busy pictures may not tolerate her books, however.

    The Mitten by Jan Brett

    The mitten is a wonderfully cute animal story. This book is fun to have in a classroom for the early grades (k-2) and is a great one to keep in your personal library at home. It is fun and easy to read for children and the illustrations are phenomenal.

    Every baby needs this book!!!

    This is my 14-month old's favorite book and has been since 11 months. She sits in my lap, entranced, each and every time I read it and never squirms. The pictures just captivate her and she loves all the animals. I will treasure this book forever because it has brought her so much joy.
