The Green Umbrella

內容簡介

內容簡介 A comical story of imagination and friendship--now available as a paperback! Elephant is enjoying a peaceful walk with his green umbrella, when suddenly a Hedgehog says: I believe you have my boat. Elephant listens patiently as Hedgehog insists: I crossed deep oceans . . . tasted the salty spray of whales [in that umbrella-boat]. Cat, Bear, and Rabbit soon interrupt Elephant--each claiming that his umbrella is really their tent, flying machine, and cane. Elephant is flabbergasted--after all, it's an umbrella, and it certainly hasn't been on any adventures more exciting than a walk in the rain. Or has it? Jackie Azúa Kramer and illustrator Maral Sassouni have created a gem in this fun read-aloud! Praise for The Green Umbrella, hardcover edition A 2017 Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year Mom's Choice Award - Gold A 2017 Parents' Choice Silver Honor The lesson about sharing and generosity is elegantly wrapped around lovely language."--Kirkus Reviews
