Pros: Fantastic Illustrations Simple text of a delightful story. Cons: Not a one!
The book The Mitten that I recently checked out of the library didn’t come in a box with a set of mittens included, like in the epinions pictures. We decided to go along with the story our daycare would make our own mittens. We had fun making a ...
Pros: beautiful illustrations Cons: it's over too soon
This charming book based on a Ukranian folktale is children's fiction at its best. The narration in "The Mitten" is very sparing, so as to let the pictures tell the story. And what a story they tell! A little boy's lost mitten becomes home to a ...
Pros: One of the loveliest children's books there is! Cons: None
The Mitten is a Ukranian Folktale which has been adapted by, and illustrated by, Jan Brett. It is simply, one of the loveliest children's books there is.
Ironically, I had heard of the book, but had not read it, until my 6 year old daughter...
Pros: 18 thumbs up from Osage County First Grade Cons: none noted
Jan Brett's - The Mitten: A Ukrainian Folktale adapted and Illustrated by Jan Brett introduces us to Nicki who asks his Baba, grandmother, to make his mitten from wool as white as snow. Despite his grandmother's hesitation Nicki is ...
Pros: Beautiful illustrations, heartwarming tale of friendship and family Cons: none
As my children grow older, it’s gotten more difficult to find books to real aloud that we all enjoy. Their tastes are changing, and since I have a daughter and a son, their interests are dramatically different.
Pros: Beautiful illustrations, cute story Cons: None
Jan Brett has taken a beautiful old tale and turned it into a delightful read for young folks and their parents. It is a wonderful book for reading to children of young ages, in part because of the beautiful illustrations. In the center of the page, the...
I was first drawn to this book by the cover art, while browsing in the children's book section for a gift. I have been disappointed so often by the slapdash bad art in so many of these books, and I could immediately see that this one was different. ...
Pros: Tale of a mitten dropped in the snow is sweet, whimsical, but not silly Cons: None
Recently I was *almost* convinced to buy a Scholastic book club version of The Mitten. Luckily I checked out Jan Brett's version, full of illustrations so vivid and rich, from my son's school library and saved myself $5 and a great deal of ...
The pictures are not the only appeal in Brett's tales, but they are certainly a high point. In her story-telling, she uses the pictures to give a view of what is to come (on the right border) and what is going on with another character (the boy - in the...
Pros: Beautiful illustrations and an easy to read story. Cons: None
The Ukraninian folktale "The Mitten" has been brought to life by the marvelous illustrations in Jan Brett's adaptation of the story. When I taught pre-school, every winter I looked forward to digging this book out to read to my students.
Pros: beautiful illustrations, very detailed, cute story Cons: the mitten becomes stretched out :)
One of my all time favorite bedtime stories, especially around Christmas time, is The Mitten. My mother had purchased the book due to the fact that like her, it was Ukrainian. Together we both fell in love with the story as she read the heartwarming...
This book is wonderful. I read it to my four year old class all the time. They just love the pictures. They also love that there is 2 stories going on at once (what the child is doing and what is going into the mitten that the child dropped)
They...
Pros: Enjoyable reading for your child and you! Cons: Can't think of any, Must Read!
The Mitten is the first Jan Brett book my son and I read. From that book on, she is absolutely one of our favorite authors! We also have "The Night Before Christmas" and "Gingerbread Baby", two other wonderful readings.
Pros: perfect gift for expectant mom, mom with new baby etc. Cons: none
There's too much to give away about this story. Let's say it involves a lost mitten, is delightfully illustrated, and leave it at that. There is nothing disturbing here, just a funny and delightful book. Margaret Wise Brown is sort of a comparison,...
