The Mitten is a Ukrainian folktale that was adapted and illustrated by Jan Brett
A little boy named Nicki wanted a pair of “snow white mittens”, so he asked his grandmother, Baba, to crochet him a pair. At first Baba told Nicki no because if he dropped on in the snow he would never find it. However, Baba eventually came around and made Nicki his mittens. But of course, Nicki ended up dropping his mitten into the snow. One after another, various animals from the woods packed themselves into the tiny snow whit mitten. Each animal that entered was a little bit bigger than the last. Suddenly, a tiny mouse jumped on the bear’s nose, which tickled him dearly, so the bear sneezed. With the sneeze, all the animals flew out of the mitten. The mitten when flying through the air, and Nicki caught it in his hands. But, Nicki is puzzled at how much larger the mitten now is.
Illustrations:
- The illustrations are beautiful
- They are Ukrainian paintings. I cant tell this because of the clothing of the little boy and his grandmother, by the house structure, the furnishings inside the house, and the borders on each page
- On the left side of the border there is a whole where you can see Nicki looking for his mitten and on the right side you see the animals pilling into the mitten
- The illustrations are in great detail
- I suppose the book is set sometime in the past
