"The Mitten" is a famous Ukrainian folk tale, which reminds one of the story of "Teremok." The story about animals finding a mitten in the forest and settling in it is loved by all children. The tale of the mitten highlights friendship, mutual help, and kindness. The characters in the tale are friendly and compassionate: they let all animals into their small mitten house. The mitten is becoming increasingly crowded, but the generous inhabitants do not turn away even the large, clumsy bear. The small mitten accommodated seven animals—from a tiny mouse to a huge clumsy bear. All of them live together peacefully and without quarrels. It is very important for a preschooler to understand the importance of being considerate, accommodating, and kind.
