Synopsis
When Nicki drops one of his new white mittens in the snow, he doesn't even notice it's missing. One by one, the woodland animals discover the mitten and crawl inside, each one larger than the last: a mole, a rabbit, even a big, brown bear! With a simplified text designed for younger listeners, Jan Brett's classic picture book is now available in a sturdy board book format. Full color.
Annotation
Several animals sleep snugly in Nicki's lost mitten until the bear sneezes.
