A comical story of imagination, sharing, and friendship--now
available in Spanish!
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!
