(1) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara McClintock. In this take on the Ukrainian folktale, Aylesworth's polished text shows its storytelling roots with perfect pacing, precisely chosen details, and participatory repetition. In McClintock's energetic pictures, the mitten is red, giving a splash of color to each illustration as the animals squeeze themselves in; the explosion of the mitten after the little mouse enters is spectacular.
