We read two versions of The Mitten (Jan Brett and Barbara McClintock). We laced together a diecut mitten and placed the different animals in to use in retelling. We also role-played and retold our own classroom version. I don't know when I have heard so much giggling and laughing. Even my quietest students took a turn saying "Please let me in. My toes are ice cold." We were able to get over half the class into the mitten (sheet) before it exploded.
