The illustrations of this book and wonderful and the story kept the attention of twenty three kindergarten students for many readings. The story is about a grandmother who knits mittens for her grandson. When he loses a mitten outside it is discovered by a mole as a warm location. As the story keps going more and more animals try to take up space in the mitten. I liked that there is some repetition on each page as to the order that each animals found the mitten. The last page of the story is just a picture so it was left open ended as to what the grandmother must be thinking when she compares the two mittens.
