In this bestselling modern classic, a young boy’s lost mitten leads to a charming snowy adventure. Jan Brett’s beautiful retelling is a family favorite and the board book edition is the perfect gift for the youngest readers.
When Nicki drops his white mitten in the snow, he goes on without realizing that it is missing.
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.
In her distinctive style, Jan Brett brings the animals to life with warmth and humor, and her illustrations are full of visual delights and details faithful to the Ukrainian tradition from which the story comes.
Jan Brett is also the creator of such wintery classics as The Hat, The Snowy Nap, The Three Snow Bears, The Animals’ Santa, and The Night Before Christmas.
This book is also available in Spanish, as El mitón.
“Grandmother knits snow-white mittens that Nikki takes on an adventure. Readers will enjoy the charm and humor in the portrayal of the animals as they make room for each newcomer in the mitten and sprawl in the snow after the big sneeze.”

So beautifully illustrated.
This is a beautifully illustrated book and great for toddlers that have an interest in animals. Great for little fingers that like to turn the pages themselves.

One Of The Best Children’s Books
I love this book. It was one of my favorite books as a child. I am 29 years old, and I still love itâso much so that I bought it for my friend to read to his daughter. Jan Brett wrote a fantastic children’s book. Her other works are also brilliant. I will be 60 and still love it.

Must Have for Your Childâs Winter Library
The Mitten is a classic and for so many reasons! As a retired educator, I read this to my students every single year. Both the jolly story and the intricate illustrations open up many conversations. I look forward to sharing The Mitten with my grandbabies this winter.
