The Mitten Thematic Unit

I have loved reading this Russian tale to children since I held my own babies on my lap 30 years ago. This story is timeless! The many versions of this story make it a great book to compare and contrast, look for key details, do close readings, and even make a class play!


And don't forget to show this great video read by Jan Brett herself!
