The Mitten is one of the best children's books. All Jan Brett books are good but The Mitten is my favorite. Kids love the story and on each page there is a preview picture of the next page so my kids would enjoy the anticipation of the next event. I highly recommend it. 5 stars indeed!

Jan Brett has put her own spin on the familiar folk theme of a shelter which stretches to accommodate each new occupant. This time it's a boy, Nicki, who begs his grandmother, Baba, to knit him a pair of white mittens. In spite of her warnings that he will lose them and that they will be hard to find in the snow, he insists and she finally does so. Grandmothers, however, are usually right and it isn't long before we notice, although he does not, that he has dropped a mitten. A mole is the first to discover the mitten lying on the snow and crawls inside, followed by a snowshoe rabbit, a hedgehog, an owl, a badger, a fox, a bear and, finally a mouse. Each time the inhabitants protest that there's not enough room for the newcomer,the mitten stretches beyond belief. Just at the point where Nicki approaches, searching for his lost mitten, the mouse causes the bear to sneeze; the mitten and all its occupants go flying; the boy catches sight of the airborne mitten and retrieves it. It's grandmother who, knowing nothing of what happens, notices the now-stretched out mitten. I used to read this book to students when I was a school librarian. They loved the illustrations.Read full review
