#4 - The Mitten by Jan Brett


Summary:  Nicki loses his white mitten in the snow. He trudges home without realizing that it has gone missing.  One by one, woodland creatures find it and crawl in to keep warm. A mole, rabbit, hedgehog, owl, badger, fox, bear, and mouse snuggle into the warm mitten. All the while, Nicki does not realize what an adventure his mitten is having.
