‘La moufle’

la moufle le toboggan

In French, from 2yo.

This is lovely story about sharing and caring for others. It is winter, the forest is covered in snow and the animals are cold. A rabbit is walking between the trees when he finds a wooly mitten. What a nice shelter it would make. Soon, he is interrupted by the frog who asks if she can come inside too. Of course, the rabbit shares his cosy new home, then come the owl, the fox, the bear, etc.. will the mitten be large enough for everyone.

La moufle is a story that all children should read. It is a sweet story about sharing and caring for others, big and small.
