The Umbrella by Jan Brett

Well-loved for her ornate, Scandinavian-themed picture books, Jan Brett takes her talents deep into the Monteverde Cloud Forest of Costa Rica. A tropical twist on Scandinavian tale The Mitten, this story chronicles the antics of myriad animals that make themselves right at home in the handcrafted leaf umbrella that a boy Carlos has left at the foot of a giant fig tree.

With its classic story, exotic jungle setting, and brilliantly colorful menagerie, The Umbrella is a family favorite.

Reading Level: Ages 4-8. Hardcover, 32 pp.
