Pica’s grandmother knitted him a pair of red mittens to keep his hands warm in the winter. But Pica keeps losing his mittens.

One day, they were drying up on the shelf. At school, they were on the floor behind the radiator.

And then one of his mittens got a hole in it. Pica’s grandmother sewed it; she said when Pica was old enough to hunt walrus and seals, she would make him a pair of sealskin mittens. But Pica likes his red wool mittens because they are just right for playing in the snow.

One day, a big snowstorm comes; everyone stays home and Father brings Pin inside to have her pups. When the storm is over, Pica and Etta are getting ready for school. Where are Pica’s mittens?
