Mitten
Jim Aylesworth (2009), 32 pages
Illustrated by Barbara McClintock
Audience: Preschool - 3rd Grade
This book is a retelling of the traditional Ukrainian tale in which a boy's lost mitten becomes a home from the cold for more and more animals. The repetition of what the animals say and the realistic looking illustrations make this book a great retelling.
