What is the name of that children book/short story?

Question

I remember when I was in the 1st grade reading a story about a mouse who crawled into a mitten, and then a toad joined him. Soon a turtle, a fox, and other animals. They were using the mitten as a playroom. The mitten kept on stretching as more animals came in to play. The last one to join was a bear, and the mitten exploded buy no one was hurt. That was one of my favorite stories as a child, but I cannot remember the name of the story or the author. Does anyone know?

When Nicki drops his white mitten in the snow, he goes on without realizing that it is missing.
One by one, woodland animals find the mitten and crawl in; first a curious mole, then a rabbit, a badger and others, each one larger than the last. Finally, a big brown bear is followed in by a tiny brown mouse, and what happens next makes a wonderfully funny climax.
As the story of the animals in the mitten unfolds, the reader can see Nicki in the borders of each page, walking through the woods unaware of what is going on.
Once again Jan Brett has created a dramatic and beautiful picture book in her distinctive style. She brings the animals to life with warmth and humor, and her illustrations are full of visual delights and details faithful to the Ukrainian tradition, from which the story comes.
