FROM THE PUBLISHER

Now the perfect gift -- The Mitten board book and a pair of stretchy one-size-fit-all mittens for the five and under audience available in a sturdy box decorated with Jan Brett's designs. Boys and girls will love owning their own pair of stretchy mittens, just like the one Nicki drops in the snowy woods near his grandmother's house. His mitten stretches and stretches as one by one appealing woodland animals, each bigger than the last, wiggle their way inside. "Brett's magnificent paintings feature her usual array of folk details, and this time, intricate knitting tracks, ornate embroidery, the crusty, peeling texture of the birch bark borders and the exquisite patterns found in Baba's homey rooms." -- Publishers Weekly
