"The Mitten" by Jan Brett, illustrated by Barbara McClintock, tells the enchanting story of a young boy named Nick who loses his white mitten in the snow. As various woodland animals discover the mitten, they crawl inside to escape the cold, resulting in a whimsical series of events as more and more creatures squeeze in. The mitten bulges and stretches as it becomes a cozy refuge for a rabbit, a frog, an owl, and others. Ultimately, the story highlights themes of friendship, warmth, and the joy of sharing, as well as the wonders of nature in a wintery landscape.
