Elephant is keeping dry from the rain with his green umbrella. Along comes a hedgehog who thinks that the elephant’s umbrella is his boat. Elephant says he must be mistaken but offers to share the umbrella. Other animal also come by thinking it is their tent, flying machine, cane and more. Elephant is very kind and shares with them all, but who will get the green umbrella?

I really enjoyed The Green Umbrella. I appreciated the creativity of using the green umbrella in many exciting and different ways. I liked Elephant's character and how kind he was to all the animals. The illustrations were cute and told much of the story. The Green Umbrella encourages the imagination in each of us, and our desire to share and make friends.
