Mitten (hardcover) Elsa Beskow Nora's sisterWhen Nicki drops his white mitten in the snow, he goes on without realizing that it is missing. One by one, woodland animals find it and crawl in; first, a curious mole, then a rabbit, a badger 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 a wonderfully funny climax. Jan Brett brings this Ukrainian folk tale to life with warmth and humor, in her distinctive style.
