Een heerlijk en magisch boek dat perfect bij vandaag past. Het is hier stormig weer en vannacht heb ik niet goed geslapen omdat het zo hard waaide. In dit boekje zien we een kleine hond die een paraplu vindt en WOOESH zo wordt weggeblazen. Hij ontdekt allerlei nieuwe dieren, nieuwe landen (koud, warm en er tussen in), het is echt een genot om te lezen en ik vond het tof om mee te gaan op avontuur en te zien welke dieren we zien, en ook welke dieren hem helpen. Yep, dieren zijn meer dan bereidt om hem een handje, pootje, slurfje, te helpen.
De illustraties zijn echt heel mooi gedaan. Ik kon me helemaal in het verhaal verdwalen. Leuk!
Aanrader!

Beautiful wordless picture book about a little black dog who finds a red umbrella. The wind carries the umbrella with the little dog around the world. Love wordless books for the stories they inspire inside the reader.

Quite reminiscent of JOURNEY by Aaron Becker. In this story a little dog is blown away in a red umbrella and goes on his own journey.

When a rather inquisitive black scottish terrier stumbles across an abandoned red umbrella with his feline friend, little did he know that a wild and wondrous adventure awaited. All it takes is a heavy autumnal wind and he's off! With the umbrella open, our little adventurer is slave to the winds and whims of all he encounters in the sweet little wordless picturebook. The wind carries him across the world until he arrived back home....for the cat to have a go!
The Schuberts are a much-celebrated partnership in the Netherlands; akin to Janet and Allan Ahlberg. Here, their wordless escapade will delight young readers since their is so much to see on dog's journey across the globe. From an African plain to the depth of the ocean and across the Arctic, the reader has much to spot and explore and will continue to find more with repeat readings.
Although scenes of 'Africa' can comes across as limiting alongside tribespeople living in the Amazon, there is still much to enjoy and be shared here.

What a fantastic wordless book! I especially liked when the whale shoots the dog out of the ocean with his spout and the joyful look on the dog when his umbrella becomes a sled. Enjoy!

Cute story. I just wish there was another page before the sudden ending.

A gorgeously illustrated wordless book about a scottie dog that rides and umbrella to various parts of the world. Would be great for one-on-one sharing!
