"The story will be an enjoyable read-aloud in either language as well as a title to offer tothe newly independent reader who is not quite ready for a chapter book. Despite theproliferation of umbrellas, no rain falls in this sunny book and the umbrellas are usedfor protection from the heat." -ForeWord Magazine (...)
