Ellen, you guessed it! I am making the animals from Jan Brett’s The Mitten
Our daughter has always loved books. Simply opening a book could stop a complete screaming fit from the time she was 2 months old, and the love continues. Much to our dismay, our little man has never shown much interest in books. Until now. He loves The Mitten!
His little still-not-talking self drags me to the couch by my pants leg multiple times a day, demanding a reading. And because we are so happy about his newly found book love, I think he deserves a sweet little critter-filled mitten of his very own!
I was just thinking last night that I wasn’t sure I would be able to guess it, and we’re reading the book multiple times a day! I’m impressed, Ellen, and I’m sure your mom will be proud! A little felted bunny will be on his way to Korea next week! Pretty convenient, since I already need to send you a very belated package!
I’ll keep posting the critters as I finish them, so keep checking back!

Sometimes it pays to have a librarian mom. Yay! One of the things I can’t wait for about having kids is all the wonderful children’s books I get to rediscover.
