They asked for privacy as they grieve and said a memorial will be announced later. “Our precious mom, Loretta Lynn, passed away peacefully this morning, October 4th, in her sleep at home in her beloved ranch in Hurricane Mills,” the statement read.

Most of all, the book traces in breathtaking detail FDR's revolutionary efforts with his New Deal legislation to alter the very fabric of the American economy in order to save it, his forceful-and cagey-leadership up to and during World War II, and his lasting legacy in creating the foundations of a postwar Europe. He explores the, at times, prickly resistance and unusual partnership between FDR and his wife, Eleanor.

Recently my friend from Kinderbookswitheverything talked about The Mitten and the way she had several versions in her school library but there was one she especially liked.

In the version by Alvin Tresselt, pictured above, the mitten disintegrates after the arrival of the final creature whereas in Jan Brett's version the boy finds the mitten and we see his grandmother standing puzzled as she compares its size against the original. In the version by Alvin Tresselt the mitten is taken over by a tiny mouse, a green frog, an owl, a rabbit, a fox, a wolf, a wild boar, a bear and finally a tiny cricket. In the Jan Brett version the animals include a snowshoe rabbit, a mole, a hedgehog, an owl, a badger, a fox, a giant brown bear and a tiny meadow mouse. ![]() ![]() The mitten stretches and stretches to accommodate animals which are diverse in size and temperament.
