Ages: 1-6

In this best-selling modern classic, a young boy’s lost mitten leads to a charming snowy adventure. Nicki drops his white mitten in the snow and keeps moving 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 for a wonderfully funny climax.
