Description

oin a Discovery Center Naturalist as we reveal this month's book The Mitten by Jan Brett. In this bestselling modern classic, a young boy’s lost mitten leads to a charming snowy adventure. One by one, woodland animals find it and crawl in; first, a curious mole, then a rabbit, a badger and others, each one larger than the last. Finally, a big brown bear is followed in by a tiny brown mouse and what happens next makes for a wonderfully funny climax. As the story of the animals in the mitten unfolds, the reader can see Nicki's snowy outing in the borders of each page.
