Bookroo's summary

Annie and her dog, Oscar, embark on a snowy quest to find her missing red mitten. As they search through sledding hills and snow castles, wild theories arise—could an eagle or a mouse have taken it? As night falls, hope dims, but a glimpse of red outside the window might hold the answer. Will Annie solve the mitten mystery before winter's chill sets in? Join this whimsical journey filled with imagination and unexpected surprises.

From the publisher

Annie and her dog, Oscar, have had a busy day playing in the snow. Somehow Annie’s red mitten has disappeared in all the fun. They look high and low. . . . It’s not on the sledding hill, and it’s not by the snow castles. Maybe an eagle carried it off to keep its baby’s head warm. Or maybe a mouse is using it as a sleeping bag. When the sun goes down, Annie and Oscar have to give up their search and go inside. But when Annie looks out the window, something red catches her eye. . . . With entirely new full-color illustrations, this beautiful version of the beloved picture book “The Mystery of the Missing Red Mitten” retains all the charm of the original.
