One of the most visual and dreamy graphic books that I have ever seen. To get lost into. To stimulate the minds of the little ones, to nurture creativity and wonder. A joy to treasure and to return to again and again in different phases of life.
A gift from a dear friend who knows my girls (and me!) really well.

Gorgeous art that makes the adventure seem plausible. Easy to 'read' even for those of us who have trouble with wordless stories. Well, except for the perpetuation of the myth that whales exhale water (which doesn't even make sense, so I've no idea how that started). Such a charmer. I will continue to consider more by the Schuberts.

4,5 sterren - Nederlandse hardcover
Het verhaal in het kort. De paraplu klapt open en door een windvlaag waait het hondje samen met de paraplu de lucht in. Samen waaien ze de hele wereld over.
Voor de verhaallijn is gekozen voor grote illustraties. En die deden het bij de kinderen waar ik dit boek voorlas.
Het hoofdpersonage, de hond, moet een geliefd huisdier zijn van de bedenkers. De liefde spat van de pagina's. Het dier heeft menselijke eigenschappen gekregen, waardoor ik me gemakkelijk kon identificeren met het hondje.
Doordat er geen tekst bij de prenten is geschreven kun je helemaal je eigen fantasie gebruiken en dus een eigen verhaal bij de plaatjes bedenken. Het is dus ook enorm leuk er een interactief verhaal van te maken wat ik met mijn kleinkinderen deed.
Dit is voor jonge kinderen ook heel leuk, omdat ze graag willen "voorlezen" dus dat zij de verteller zijn. Dit boek is ook een mooi hulpmiddel voor een taalrijkeen fantasierijke gesprekken.
Daarom gast het nu maar de dependance van de huisbibliotheek op het AZC.

What a beautiful story with the words left to you and your audience's imagination. The Umbrella is a picture book containing no words for nursery aged children. I gave this book 4 stars because when reading it I loved the rare reaction my children had. The story is of a little puppy who decided to investigate a red umbrella. Because of the magnificent pictures, it is clear that it is fall and very windy. The wind picks the puppy and the umbrella up and takes them on an adventure around the world. The umbrella serves as a kite, boat, sled, and shield. The illustrations are very detailed and my children had so much fun putting their own words into each page. This book can be used for multiple purposes when instructing children. The way I used it was by letting my 2 and 3 year olds take turns depicting each place the umbrella traveled. You could also use this book for older children and have them draw a place where the dog sailed over. This is an awesome one-of-a-kind illustration book.
Read
February 13, 20191. The Umbrella has received the 2012 Outstanding International Best Book of the Year Award and The United States Board on Books for Young People Award. 2. For children ages 3-7. 3. This illustrated literature begins with a small black dog reaching for a red umbrella, barren trees and loose leaves around the dog are blowing haphazardly in the background. The small black dog is blown into the sky by the wind, the dog then travels the world over, from a desert to the ocean, to the frigid tundra. The dog encounters many different animals along the journey before being blown back to its original destination. 4. This book is a delight to look at with children, the colors that the illustrator chose for the pictures are calming and tranquil. The scenes from the different areas of the world looked like I could just step onto the picture and pretend I was there with the dog. The story of the dog traveling to so many exotic and wondrous lands made me want to go back to the beginning of the story when I reached the end, so I did. 5. This book could be used in a science lesson, revealing different types of animals and the environments that they live in around the world. This book could also be used in a literature lesson, the teacher could have the students write a story about the adventures that the dog took on its travels around the world.

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.

the first wordless picture books I’ve ‘read’. It shows the adventures of a little dog riding an umbrella through many different landscapes. As it doesn’t contain any words this book is accessible to all and is open to interpretation which I think makes it even better.
This would be a great book for setting description and getting children to think about all their senses when describing a scene. Children can pick up lots of different aspects from one picture.
Also it has a little dog in it which makes it a winner for me.

Savannas, oceans, and the Artic circle are all explored in this wordless picture book. Although the story is not written put, so much is communicated within the pictures. Our character ski's down mountains, fights alligators and meets new friends in this wonderful children's book. The illustration style is an older fashioned one, but still vivid and expressive. The use of color to demonstrate feeling and location is flawless. After reading this book for a class I purchased a couple for the newest member of my husbands family in Sweden, who I wanted to send a book to, but knew she wouldn't have any English classes for nine years.
I plan on using this book with my students to discuss text comprehension by scaffolding the concept with image comprehension.

Intended for children ages 3-7, "The Umbrella" received the 2012 Outstanding International Best Book of the Year Award, and The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY) Award. It tells a wondrously illustrated story of a little black dog who finds a red umbrella, and is carried away by it on an unforgettable journey through the world.
A child enraptured in this wordless adventure will fill the quiet with their own descriptions, story and sounds. As the little canine protagonist finds his way through clouds, rain forests and the ocean, children will gasp and laugh and root for the dog, and find many other animals worth imitating along the way.
Wordless books rely on the expertise, imagination and intent of an illustrator to bring a certain plot to life on the pages of a book. Vagueness is not uncommon among these types of books, and at times may even be intentional. But for a parent or an educator who wants to expose kids to wordless books, "The Umbrella" should be strongly considered as an option. For even a four-year-old flipping through the pages on their own will be able to follow the story by simply gazing at the beautifully painted pictures.
The book is also printed quite large, which makes it an excellent option for discussing with a group of children.

A book without words. Just as we have 'The Book with No Pictures', I think it's also valuable to spend time with books with no words. This has beautiful pictures as the little black dog travels around the word on his red umbrella that allow readers time to simply engage with the pictures. It also means that adults and kids can make up their own stories. It's also useful as a way for talking about emotions (important for a child with autism). I'm constantly amazed by how incredibly expressive drawings of animal faces can be and this is lovely art work for identifying surprise, wonder, happiness, excitement, etc.

Around the world on an umbrella with a little help from some friends. I think I liked the sleepy-with-the-bats page and the underwater page the best. Library copy jacket flap is taped down over the punchline on the endpapers: the dog leaving the umbrella where he found it, and a cat coming upon it there.

This Dutch import is a delightful wordless wonder. I love everything this couple has done. They are superb picture book creators.

This is a lovely wordless picture book, for kids, and for everyone. The adventure of a black puppy with and umbrella.
A great PB often speaks to all the readers, regardless of their identity, age. This book is of them. No matter who you are, there is something to take home from this book.
The visual language that Schubert used is effective. Simple watercolor, not an overwhelmingly amount of details, but enough for the readers to explore and wander. Color space within each page has been handled well. Although I would suggest a more consistent tone in the page of tribe. That page and a blue-blizzard page did not blend well into the other pages of this book. Some personal opinion, more negative space in the book could make it even better. The illustrator used a lot of negative space, while there are still some too-busy pages.
Overall this book provides a great range of scenes, from deep in the ocean to the clouds, to jungles, etc. It is a visual feast to the eyes. The imagination of the author and the illustrator is boundless, and makes logical sense.
Effective transitions between pages. There is always something little that serve as a smooth transition to the next page.
A little something weird is the eye of this puppy. It always has its pupil right there at the center of its eye, which makes it look a bit rigid and did not convey the emotion and thoughts of the main character. While other characters in the book did not have this issue at all. Not sure why the illustrator presented this way. Character on the last page is a bit rigid.

It all begins on a dark, windy day when a dog, who is being carefully watched by a cat, finds an umbrella. This umbrella takes him on an adventure, acting much like the magic carpet in Aladdin, from his little town to Africa, where danger lurks. Throughout his adventure on the umbrella, he is guided and helped. It's a cute story with vibrant colors and a diversity of animals and lands.
The artwork is beautiful. It is alive and shows movement. The trees move with the wind, the animals move toward the dog, pushing him toward the right, continuing his journey. The illustrations look to be made with watercolor, colored pencil or watercolor pencils, and perhaps pastels. Its style seems to be a mix of realism and cartoon art, and a touch of surrealism with the dog holding onto the umbrella. My favorite part is the last page, where it's suggested that it will all begin again. I found it interesting that most of the animals try to help the little dog along, while the only humans in the book try to throw spears at him. The pictures seem to show that adventure is exciting and waiting to happen.

2. Prek-2nd
3. This story is about a young black dog that is carried by a red umbrella and the wind. The dog travels all over the world being carried by the umbrella and coming in contact with many different animals and things. The book finally ends with the black dog being carried by the umbrella back to its original destination.
4. This book is a great book overall. I loved the different scenes that were throughout the book and how the different parts of the world were portrayed. I think that a lot of children would enjoy this book because it is very easy to picture yourself right there with the dog.
5. This book would be great to use when discussing different parts of the world and different animals that live in certain environments. Similar to the other wordless picture book this would also be great to use for a literature/writing lesson and having the children fill in words to the book to make their own story.

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!

کتاب چتر یک داستان تصویریست. سگی در گوشهای از جنگل یک چتر پیدا میکند و چتر و باد او را با خود به دریا و صحرا و قطب شمال میبرند. تصاویر زیرکانه بودند و قابل دنبال کردن.
تنها یکجا بنظرم مشکل منطقی داشت: هنگامی که سگ از یک قبیلهی آدمها رد میشود، آنها تلاش میکنند او را شکار کنند و یک نیزهی فلزی در چتر گیر میکند. با اینحال همچنان چتر قادر است در هوا معلق بماند. میدانم که وزن سگ هم زیاد است و احتمالا کل ماجرا مقداری مشکل منطق دارد، اما باز هم وزن زیادِ فلزی که از بالای چتر وارد میشود، با در نظر گرفتن اینکه منطقا باید پوشش آن را هم پاره کند، زیادی غیرقابل باور است و در چشم میزند.

An adventure of a pet dog with his trusty umbrella.
The umbrella now has a story behind it to be able to tell. It has travelled through all weather conditions and flown as high as the sky. This dog meets friends along his journey, who sometimes help him get out of travel.
The picture book comes full circle, where the dog is looking at the Umbrella and the cat is just wandering around through the grass. Finishes with the dog wandering around admiring his recent adventure over the world, whereby the cat is staring at the umbrella with an arrow in.
Powerful images.

This book tells the journey of a little dog being pulled across the sky by a strong wind that catches on to his umbrella, taking him on a journey across the world. Yet, I find the illustrations of ‘Africa’ and tribes in the Amazon, quite stereotypical, providing children with a limited view of countries and cultures. Therefore, I would say this book could be used in a classroom, but teachers should be sure to discuss what children do know about different parts of the world, ensuring they have a diverse knowledge of different countries and cultures.

I really enjoyed The Umbrella because of its ability to tell the story so well through illustrations! We follow an animal along on many different adventures and every page shows the emotion he feels on that adventure through the use of color and expression on the dogs face. I really like the red umbrella in particular because it stood out on every page and it was how the dog was able to get from one adventure to another! I would definitely recommend this book to any young kids, it allows you to create your own meaning along with the book!

Summary: A little black dog finds a red umbrella. The wind begins to pick up and carries the dog and the umbrella away. The little dog embarks on a journey. He Travels to many places eventually finding his way back home.
Rating: I love wordless picture books. The pictures were well done and very easy to understand.
Use in Classroom: I would use this book as a way for students to practice inferencing. An activity I would do is to have the students expand apron the book. They will write what they think the dog would do next.

This is a wordless book that follows a black dog that picked up a red umbrella one day when it was very windy. The wind took him high up into the air, where we watched this dog fly all around the world. He went on the safari, ocean, beach, forest, mountains, Antarctica, and finally back home. I think, though this is wordless, it is a great way for students to discover. The students can also come up with their own story for this dog, which I think is such a great opportunity for young children.

The umbrella is a charming picture book, surrounding the accidental adventures of a small black dog which inquisitively inspects a red umbrella. A gust of wind takes him on a wild tour across the world. Despite coming across some problems, a little help from new-found friends enables him to return home safely with a tale to tell.

I'm not a huge fan of wordless picture books but this one has exciting enough images and a sort of general direction "now he's blowing off in the wind someplace else!" that I didn't have a problem reading it. Little bear grabs an umbrella and goes flying off all around the world. My three year old seemed to enjoy the images and if you ARE a wordless picture book person, this is a great one.
August 13, 2021
The most moving thing is where the umbrella was attacked by villagers. I personally relate to it as an in-between person, between east and west cultures, gender roles and so many things, because I don't feel like belonging anywhere and always get attacked by people who stick to certain cultures and societal expectations.

This is a cute little story -- I love geography-themed children's books, familiarizing children with the way other places look. This one is maybe a bit limited (or a lot), but it's cute and simple and fun to look at.

Very beautiful wordless narrative of a dog being taken for a magical realist ride on the breeze carried by an umbrella around the world meeting new friends and dangers. Would inspire wonder for young and old.

Truly loved this book. The illustrations are fierce, inviting, and intriguing.
Highly recommend this book for teachers and parents to enrich the imagination and predictability in young children.
I think that adults will be appalled by the richness of the illustrations as well.

This was really neat. A dog finds an umbrella and goes for a ride all around the world in the wind. I especially liked the page with all the turtles and the page with the clapping seals or sea lions or whatever they were.
