![]() This is a wonderful book that will age well for any family. The book features beautiful Ukrainian folk patterns, clever use of descriptive adjectives, and multiple visual details that make for repeated readings (such as the small mitten “windows” on either side of each page which provide a reminding glimpse into secondary and tertiary actions running alongside the main story). The richly illustrated book tells the story of Nicki, a young boy who asks for white mittens from his Baba (grandmother), and promptly loses one, which is explored by several forest animals before it is returned to Nicki… albeit, a bit stretched out. The Mitten is a beautiful Ukrainian folk story that our family first became familiar with through the Jan Brett version. Here are some Montessori-inspired Toddler and Preschooler activities that we enjoyed during our Mitten Unit Study. ![]() ![]() ![]() Reading Christmas Books is a favourite family tradition, and I love using children’s books to develop unit studies. ![]()
