5.0 out of 5 stars
Best telling of The Mitten that our family has come across,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mitten: An Old Ukrainian Folktale (Library Binding)
This version is told with more charm and wit than the Jan Brett re-telling of this tall tale. And the simple drawing style is a good match for the words, keeping the focus on the story rather than distracting with elaborate detail.

An excellent version of this classic story.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mitten: An Old Ukrainian Folktale (Library Binding)
I am a children's librarian and I like Alvin Tresselt's version of this classic story better than Jan Brett's version, especially for sharing with a group. The story makes a wonderful impromptu play to do with a group of children, some stuffed animals and a big sheet or blanket. I always share this story with children at Christmas time.
5.0 out of 5 stars
delightful folk tale,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Alvin Tresselt's delightful folk story should not be missed by children. This was my son's favorite book when he was a child. This Christmas I gave it to his daughter and was pleased to see my son's pleasure at the gift. The various animals that take refuge in the mitten give a reader the opportunity to exercise many different voices from the squeak of the mouse to the bass of the bear. Then the ironic twist at the end of the story brings a joyous start. This is especially recommended as a read-aloud book by someone who has read thousands of books aloud over the past 35 years!
