This traditional folktale is a classic. One by one, the animals of the forest squeeze into a lost mitten to take shelter from the snow.
I prefer Alvin Tresselt's version of this story. Perhaps because it's the one that I read when I was a child. Perhaps it's because Jan Brett's illustrations are too busy and don't particularly appeal to me. You can decide for yourself, of course. Either way, the story is a great read on a cold winter's day.
