Because the whole neighborhood knows the twin boys have lost a red mitten, whenever one is found it is taken to their house, until soon the twins must start a service to return surplus red mittens to their proper owners.

Mittens is a small, shy kitten in a big, new house. Will he find a place just for him?

Three previously-published stories of a missing mitten that seems to multiply, a girl who tries to hide from her brothers, and a mermaid whose foghorn-like voice proves useful.

Though many try, only the court jester is able to fulfill Princess Lenore's wish for the moon.

"When Martha gets an unusual pet, she's delighted by all of the fun things they do together. If one moose is this marvelous, then more moose must be even better! Pretty soon, Martha has more moose than she can handle"--

One mitten can do many things, but when the second mitten is found, it is time to go outside and have fun.

When Nicki drops his white mitten in the snow, he goes on without realizing that it is missing. One by one, woodland animals find it and crawl in; first, a curious mole, then a rabbit, a badger and others, each one larger than the last. Finally, a big brown bear is followed in by a tiny brown mouse and what happens next makes for a wonderfully funny climax. As the story of the animals in the mitten unfolds, the reader can see Nicki in the boarders of each page, walking through the woods unaware of what is going on. Once again Jan Brett has created a dramatic and beautiful picture book in her distinctive style. She brings the animals to life with warmth and humor, and her illustrations are full of visual delights and details faithful to the Ukrainian tradition from which the story comes.
