By Jan Brett, Illustrated by Jan Brett

Try one of these possible strategies in your instruction. Although we believe nearly any strategy can be tought with just about any book, these are a few highlights. Use them as a springboard for further instruction.

Book Synopsis

A boy named Nicki loses one of his mittens in the snow. One by one, animals climb inside the warm, cozy mitten. The Mitten stretches as new woodland animals climb in. Suddenly, the bear sneezes sending all of the animals and the mitten flying into the air. Will Nicki ever see his mitten again?
