Book Thoughts: The Umbrella (Brett)

  • a boy goes exploring in the rain forest
  • several unique animals have an adventurous day
  • fun sprinkling of Spanish phrases
  • clean language

Type: picture book
Ages: 3-8
Author/Illustrator: Jan Brett

As in a lot of Jan Brett’s outstanding books, this one’s illustrations show multiple scenes happening at the same time, as well as a bit of foreshadowing. The boy has no idea what those animals are doing with his umbrella he set down while he climbed a tree!

Kids will get a kick out of this one.
