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 Azua Kramer and illustrator Maral Sassouni have created a gem in this fun read-aloud!
