Jan Brett has the animals looking and acting like animals. (In this case, that one color is turquoise, as you can see on the cover.) I like the detail more, but there's a real charm in the simpler pictures of this edition. and like many books of that time period, it alternates between full-color spreads and one-color spreads. In contrast to Jan Brett's signature style of very intricate pictures, the artwork in this book is very simple. When one teeny animal tries to be the last to just squeeeeeze in (in this version, a cricket), that proves too much for the old mitten and it bursts all over the place. A boy loses his mitten in the woods, a series of progressively larger animals climb in, culminating in a bear. If you can get your hands on both, do so - keep one for yourself and donate the other to a local school! However, as the comments here show, many people prefer this version, which predates Brett's version by quite a while. And unless your home library is enormous, you probably don't need both books. Now, let me say from the start that, having read Jan Brett's version first, I prefer it.

Martin novella, is slight but not in a bad way a haunted-house-in-space story, full of alien teases and populated by a small cast of paranoid characters. There are simply no interesting characteristics present in any of the characters, besides their sci-fi skills, which do not speak to them in any way. I could barely tell you what the journey is going to involve. It’s a dangerous thing to include the finale in your first scene and suggests that we might become so interested in the characters within that the journey surpasses the destination.
