Welcome to Litsy!

I may read this to my class and might use it to see if they can identify the different animals Carlos comes across

I really liked the illustrations in this book. It was an interesting story and I liked how it gave a close up of the different animals Carlos was finding

Gorgeous lush illustrations. Carlos walks into the cloud forest to spot some animals. Leaving his umbrella at the foot of a tree, he climbs up to see what he can see. A tree frog sees the puddle forming in the upturned umbrella, and settles in. Other animals soon find a use for it, and adventure ensues. Spanish words are dotted throughout the book.

The Umbrella is a RF book written and illustrated by Jan Brett, perfect book for RA in class, especially if your on a topic of animals. The story is about a young boy named Carlos who is excited to see the many different animals in the rainforest. http://www.janbrett.com/mural_umbrella/umbrella_mural.htm the link above is a fun activity from Jan Brett website, it shows the variety of animals and Carlos in a PDF page. Teachers can print the pages

The Umbrella is New York Times Children‘s Picture Book Bestseller List winner. It‘s a low fantasy picture book. Carlos goes into the cloud forest to go see the many different animals and leaves behind his umbrella as he climbs a tree. The animals jump in and go on an adventure. I think this book would be great addition to your classroom library. I would use this book as either a DR or a RT.
