Jan Brett

Today we started our Author and Illustrator study! I love to begin with Jan Brett because she has so many amazing books about winter! Today we read The Mitten and then thought about things we have lost, too. We created this chart of things we have lost and (sometimes) found. We discussed how we felt when we lost it or found it and how it made our parents feel. I also found out there are some lost items that you might not know about :)

Jan Brett is know for creating borders in her stories that show what is going to happen next. Ask your child which was the last animal inside the mitten!
