The Mitten

Jimmy made a cute little mitten at school and he tells a cute little story with it.
There was a little boy named Nicky who had snow white mittens. His grandma made them and he loved them. One day he went climbing in a tree and one fell off. He could not find it because it was snow white and there was snow on the ground. Along came a mole and climbed inside (he has animal cut outs that fit inside.) It went in backward so it could see if any creditors were coming. (I think he meant preditors) A badger, fox, mouse, and owl follow the mole into the mitten. Then a bear climbs into the mitten. It sneezes "ACHOO!" (he dumps out all of the animals) and out come all of the animals.

We love this story! It's a beautifully illustrated book by Jan Brett. Evalyn's favorite part is when the bear sneezes. I like how he said Creditor! hee hee. : )

The same author/illustrator also did a fabulous "Night Before Christmas" story that we all really enjoyed.
