Review by Ranim Sankari:
The Mitten is a wonderful book about a little boy loosing on of them in the snow. The events leading up to the ending keeps the reader interested in what is going to happen. The fact that all these animals were able to fit in the mitten adds a little humor to the language of the text and keeps the reader interested int he story. The illustrations in this story are colorful and very close to what these animals would look like in real life. This book would be useful when teaching…
