Love this book. Jan Brett does a great job illustrating this book and giving you hints to let you know what is coming up. Favorite for young students.

medium-paced
This is one of my favorite things to read to my kindergarteners. Sometimes I re-read it to my older students and we talk about how Jan Brett researches the animals she illustrates and creates an authentic habitat.
This is a great book for children. It is a silly folktale that entertains with engaging pictures. Within a classroom it could be used to talk about the different animals in the story or used as a fun story for winter time.
I'm a sucker for pretty much anything at all that mentions knitting, so of course I like this book. It also happens to have amazing illustrations and a cute, funny story about a bunch of animals cramming themselves into a lost mitten and then getting sneezed out. As a final bonus, it would make a fun flannel board activity. Win-win-win!
Such a good winter story. Peter loved it. Would like to own a copy.
I am a sucker for knitting-related books. [a:Jan Brett|16325|Jan Brett|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1325711282p2/16325.jpg]'s The Mitten is a perfect blend of knitting-inspired, folktale, whimsy, and lovely illustrations. The design, with folk motifs and the mitten-shaped windows on each page showing Nicki's explorations and the upcoming animal arrivals, is so clever and pleasing. I loved how the hedgehog's quills poke through the fabric of Nicki's snow-white mitten, how a simple sneeze saves the day, and the priceless comical look on his Baba's face when she compares the lost-and-found, stretched-by-seven-increasingly-large-animals mitten to the pristine one. A classic winter tale.
An old Ukranian folk tale retold by Jan Brett. Her illustrations allow the reader to see what is going to happen from page to page through her borders.
