If you need a visual aid for your lesson on The Animals in the Mitten by Jan Brett, consider a presentation that features pictures of each animal from the book. Each slide contains a line from the book with a vivid verb to help kids...

Jan Brett, the author of many beloved children's books, is well worth a study. Try out this winter-themed unit, which covers areas of language arts as well as art, math, science, and social studies.

In this literature worksheet, students listen as a family member reads "The Mitten" to them. They cut out the pictures of the white mitten and the animals which they cut out, to sequence the story.
