Summary: Fun Story
Comment: This imaginative story is about a little girl who spends all day building a huge snowman and playing in the snow. When she realized that her red mitten was missing. She could not bare loose another mitten seeing how every winter thus far she had lost one. The little girl decides to retrace her steps that day and she came up with fun ideas of where her mitten could be. While on her mission she finds various other articles that belong to her friends with whom she spent the day with, but her mitten was no where to be found. After searching high and low it starts to rain. The little girl goes inside in an attempt to get out of the slushy mess. After the rain passed the little girl went outside to find that her mitten had gotten stuck in her snowman when she was building it. The mitten was visible now that some of the snow had melted from the rain. The snowman appeared to have a very bright red heart.
The author had to have been so creative. This story allows the kids to follow the little girl through the search of the mitten and guess along with her. Then the fun ending supplied a great surprise and meaningful finish. The snowman was made with love.
I liked this book because it was easy to follow and the fun plot and great pictures would easily catch a child's attention and keep them interested and guessing throughout the book. I found the pictures to be beautiful as well. Steven Kellogg has always been a favorite illustrator of mine.

Summary: Review
Comment: This book was about a little girl that lost her mitten while she was outside playing in the snow all day. She decided to trace everything that she did that in so that hopefully she can find her mitten. She went everywhere looking for her mitten. She had quite the imagination on her. One of the thoughts she had was that an animal stole her mitten. She has many ideas of what happened to her mitten that she lost and all of them are very imaginative. It starts to rain so she decided to go in to get out of the rain. When she goes inside she sees that the snowman she built is melting away some. Her mitten was in the snowman and as the rain melted the snowman her mitten appeared as his heart.
This book is a very cute tale and is a great book that will keep children's imaginations going right along with the girl who lost her mitten. It has great colorful pictures that hold children's attention also. The author really shows imagination with the ideas that the little girl thinks of for where her mitten might be. This is a book that children will love. This book really grabs your attention with the imagination and the pictures in it.

Summary: Greatly Improved Missing Mitten Book
Comment: Well known Children's book illustrator, Steven Kellogg, has just freshened his "Mystery of the Missing Red Mitten," first published in 1974, with a new "The Missing Mitten Mystery." The brightly colored Steven Kellogg illustrations make this favorite tale memorable. Especially nice are the sunset hues of bright yellow and orange, as they appear in the sky and are reflected on the bule snow. Ralph has just lost his fifth mitten of the season. He knows he is in trouble, so he begins the search, which comprises the majority of the story. At last, he gives up and goes home. Later, he looks through the living room window, and sees the snowman he had built that day. The snowman has a mysterious red spot on his chest. He has sported a red mitten heart! Mystery solved! This book is perfect for gift giving, along with a pair of red mittens of course. Ages 3 to (whatever ages kids stop losing their mittens), would enjoy this tale. "Mitten Tree" by Candace Christiansen, "The Woodcutter's Mitten" by Loek Koopmans and Jan Brett's "The Mitten" would be good companions to this updated story.
