Finally, a small meadow mouse joins this motley crew and sits on the bear’s nose. They make room for a hedgehog, an owl, a badger, a fox and even a bear, because which animal would argue with a bear? Now the mitten is all stretched out, but Baba’s knitting is still holding. First, a mole burrows itself inside, then a snowshoe hare. As soon as Nicki sets out for a snowy day adventure, he loses one of his mittens and the story follows what happens to the mitten in the snow. His grandmother wisely says he’ll only lose those in the snow but gives in to Nicki’s insistence and knits some anyway. It all starts with a young boy named Nicki who begs and begs his grandmother, Baba, to knit him some snow-white mittens. But it is…and it will be a book you will read and reread to your children. Now that may not sound too exciting for a book, a story about a mitten. Looking for your next read?
