The Umbrella

32 pp. | Putnam | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-399-24215-5 $16.99
(3) K-3 When Carlos can't see the animals he's seeking in the cloud forest, he puts down his homemade leaf umbrella, climbs a tree, and looks. While he's gone, the rainforest animals, led by Spanish-speaking Froggy, climb into his umbrella one by one and have an adventure in his absence. Lush, verdant illustrations update Carlos's progress and the umbrella's growing population.
