Review Detail

The Three Little Mittens is a fun story about diversity and thinking outside of the box. At first, there is a third mitten who feels lonely because its match is lost so it never gets worn. It is left out and made to feel bad for being different from the matching mittens. Then the tables turn and the two mismatched mittens get paired together. From there they learn an important life lesson that just because they look different does not mean they cannot like each other. I like that the book has a fun resolution as the child decides to always wear mixed-up mittens and that idea starts a trend with her friends and spreads to other items of clothing. I like that this book can be read to the very young as a fun read and that older children can also read it on a deeper level and understand the message about diversity and forming friendships even if the person does not seem like you at first. Overall, this is a great read for a wide age range of children.
