Two Little Red Mittens
Two mittens. A pair of friends.
The little red left mitten and the little red right mitten enjoy their life as a pair, keeping Little One's hands warm and toasty. But one day Little One loses the right mitten--and it's off on an adventure through the forest! Passed among various woodland creatures, the little right mitten soon becomes tattered--yet it remains cherished, always, by those who find it. Meanwhile, the left mitten can't help but worry about its old pal, even after a new right mitten is knitted. Will these dear friends ever see each other again?
