Wordless Book---The Umbrella

The Umbrella


Ingrid Schubert and Dieter Schubert
 2011
 
A little dog has a "blowing" experience when he finds an umbrella one windy day.  Once he grabs the umbrella, he is lifted up and taken on a trip around the world.

This story is well told through pictures.  The reader is able to "feel the adventure"  as the dog is whisked around the world and sees all types of biomes around the planet, including the North Pole.    The reader is taken on the adventure as well, as he travels throughout the planet.  The Umbrella is an entertaining book for all ages.  I would have students write the text from the dog's point of view within the classroom.
