Mittens and socks always come in pairs. I've yet to be able to
purchase only one mitten or one sock, even though my dryer
has a bad habit of eating only one at a time!
In SMITTEN, a lost mitten atop a fence and a lonely sock
dropped from a laundry basket set about on a quest to find
their missing partners.
When the trampling feet of school children, a trip into a waste
basket, two dogs, and a subway train get through with them,
neither mitten nor sock are looking or feeling their best.
Fortunately, after a trip through the washer and dryer and a
visit to a knitting store (and the aid of a helpful how-to book),
both mitten and sock are almost as good as new.
And each has found the perfect pair -- in one another!
This is a truly delightful bedtime story, or a book perfect for a
beginning reader. After turning the last page, you can't help
but be smitten yourself!
