Summary: Awkward, but cute
Review: By far, the illustrations are the best part of this book. The wonderful depictions of Farmer Bill, his farm and animals give the book much more depth than the forced rhymes. And frankly, they also do a better job of getting across the concepts of odd and even. My preschool boys greatly enjoy the twist at the end of the book, where there's a glimpse of the next item that will be found to be missing. The fact that the found mittens are drawn as having parts missing pleases them also. It provides a great topic for discussion. The follow-up suggestions are rather disappointing and unimaginative. The book certainly isn't helped by their inclusion. I'd rate this as an average children's book. The basic story is quite cute, but the illustrations make the book.

Summary: Odd and even concepts
Review: My son has really enjoyed this book. The story takes place on a farm during the winter time. Perfect story for this time of the year. Farmer Bill is trying to figure out what is happening to all of the mittens.
