On the windiest of days, a small black dog finds
a bright red umbrella propped against a tree. The umbrella whisks him up, up into the sky and round the
world over savannahs and ice floes, through jungles and coral seas, past
mountains and rivers until the familiar roof of his own home appears and they
float safely down to earth. Not a word is spoken in this brilliantly conceived
and illustrated picture book but for a child with imagination and possibly with
an adult ‘guide’ to help, it is a book full of stories, which may take some
time to ‘read’. Note that the end
papers are part of the story and that inside the front cover is the place to
begin.
Preschool up/ Age 3 up
