what's inside.
The story.
Based on a Ukrainian folktale, a boy named Nicki drops his white mitten in the snow, and one by one, a parade of woodland animals crawl inside to stay warm - from a mole and a rabbit to a bear. Jan Brett's signature bordered illustrations show what's happening inside and outside the mitten simultaneously, building anticipation with each new arrival.
