Mitten Weather

Our Mitten Tree moved into the Puett Room last week and is already blossoming with mitten donations. All month you and yours can bring donations of mittens, scarves and other warm things to our tree and we, in turn, will deliver these to the Good Neighbor Center. 

Here are a couple of mitten stories in honor of our tree.

Froggy Gets Dressed by Jonathan London. As adorable as ever, Froggy decides that he needs to play in the snow (even though frogs sleep through winter). He attempts to get outside and play, but keeps forgetting to put on all of his clothes. Lots of fun sounds and a fantastic punch line.
A Hat for Minerva Louise by Janet Stoeke.  Minerva wants to explore outside, but it's a little cold. This is a great story for audience participation, with plenty of misunderstandings to laugh at.

Knitty Kitty by David Elliott. Knitty Kitty knits warm things for her little kittens. Beautiful rhyming text and an "Ahhh" ending.
