I used to read it to my kindergarten classes every winter. The little boy loses on of his mittens and then all the animals in the forest start to make it their home so it becomes bigger and bigger. I love that she turned it into a little book for you with messages from the children. Your son is one smart cookie -- sure sounds like he knew early on which direction he was headed. December 7th -- serendipity? Happy birthday to him. best wishes, TammyTammy@T's Daily Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474928708908027789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-73271384733609682832013-11-26T12:53:58.379-06:002013-11-26T12:53:58.379-06:00Betsy, you are so amazing.
