  1. 1. The Mitten

    In this charming winter tale, a young boy named Nicki loses one of his white mittens in the snow, and it becomes a temporary refuge for a series of woodland animals seeking warmth. As each animal, from a tiny mouse to a large bear, squeezes into the mitten, the story humorously illustrates the challenges of sharing limited space. The beautifully illustrated narrative captures the magic of the forest and the unexpected camaraderie among the animals, culminating in a delightful and surprising conclusion when the mitten finally bursts.
