Answer 2

I've done a web search and found a couple of sites.  As yahoo won't show the entire link, I've broken it in half, so when you type it out know that there are no spaces or ... between the breaks...they are running sentences.

Answer 4

Someone else mentioned Jan Brett's website which I highly recommend. There is a printable mitten and all the characters from the book. When I taught that lesson the students made their own mittens and coloured the characters. They loved retelling the story by putting all the animals in their mittens. FUN!

If you email her your name and address she will send teachers a free package of great resources to use with her books.
