A beautiful story of a lost mitten that incorporates many story elements in pictures, animals and rich cultural components-clothing, homes, etc A funny story with one very warm mitten, several cute forest animals, and an explosive finale. I love the clever way each page has two different elements of the story simultaneously unfolding in the center and side illustrations. A great book for kids learning to read 3.5 This is a cute little winter folk tale that kids enjoy.
Several animals sleep snugly in Nicki's lost mitten until the bear sneezes. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

I’ve had my eye on Jan Brett’s books for a while because of the lovely covers and the high ratings her work usually garners. The Mitten turned out to be a nice introduction to her work. It tells a cute, humorous story. It’s perhaps a bit far-fetched that so many animals could fit inside one small mitten, but I’m sure it will entertain kids with it’s silliness. What stands out most about the story, though, are the beautiful illustrations. I love picture books where the illustrations can practically tell the story on their own and this is just such a book. Each of the main pictures that go along with the text span two pages, but along the sides there are smaller inset illustrations that show the reader what’s going on peripherally, which I thought was ingenious. The pictures alone made this worth the read. The Mitten was an enjoyable book that I hope to share with my grandkids and that has left me looking forward to checking out more of Ms. Brett’s work. (
