The Umbrella by Dieter Schubert
4.0
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.
