Deep in the woods on the coldest day of winter a little boy drops his mitten. And that lost mitten stretches and stretches — and stretches — to provide shelter for many woodland creatures. A Ukrainian folk tale.

\ From Barnes & NobleA little boy, gathering kindling in the snow doesn't notice when his furry mitten falls off. A mouse finds the mitten and decides to make it a cozy home. Just as the mouse gets comfortable, other forest dwellers, including a big brown bear, ask to squeeze in. Alas, when a little cricket wants in too, the mitten finally bursts, and the animals tumble out onto the snow. The animals' clothing reflects the Ukrainian origin of the story.\ \
