The Mitten and Other Tales

One village, one forest, one year: an old man loses his red mitten in the snow, and seven forest animals move in. The same old couple, their dog Sirko and the same cheeky animals come back in Kolobok, The Straw Bull and Mister Kotsky, four best-loved Ukrainian folk tales linked into one warm story. It starts at A1 with short present-tense sentences and grows gently to A2.
