Finally, a big brown bear is followed in by a tiny brown mouse and what happens next makes for a wonderfully funny climax. \n \n As the story of the animals in the mitten unfolds, the reader can see Nicki in the borders of each page, walking through the woods unaware of what is going on. \n \nIn her distinctive style, Jan Brett 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.\n
