Who knew a mitten could be so much fun? The sunny yellow mitten fits either hand, and the little girl who wears it makes shadow puppets. The mitten can be a hat for a wooden rooster or a bed for a tiny stuffed animal. It's also perfect for giving a sleepy cat a pat. But wait. What's the cat using as a pillow? The other mitten, of course. Now, the girl shows children all the things that can be done wearing two mittens. George's artwork mixes imagination with bounce. The two-page spreads offer an opportunity to extend the action, and George does this in a very effective way. For instance, the family dog, always in on the action, has room to roam across two pages. Ditto the girl's cute little brother, who appears on a spread divided into four strips. Good for story hours, this shows how much enjoyment can be derived from a very simple item.
