Editorial Reviews

"A funny story with an exaggerated plot that many children could probably relate to."
ResourceLinks

"Simple text and spirited illustrations ease the transition to chapter books."
Our Choice, The Canadian Children�s Book Centre

"One excellent early chapter book is Deanne Lee Bingham's Andrew's Magnificent Mountain of Mittens, a whimsical tale of misplaced mittens that will immediately strike a chord in any child who has ever had to visit the school lost and found. . . Bingham's prose is complex enough to challenge a budding chapter-book reader; with enough repetition of words and patterns to drive home newly learned words. The story is fun and frolicsome and gets an added push by the colourful, silly illustrations by Kim LaFave."
