Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-04 00:00:00 Damien Banks Un-Brella is a perfect starter wordless book for the very young. Although, I am not very young and I appreciate it! My daughter is almost two and she was mesmerized by it. We read it three times in a row and afterwards she flipped through it herself. Later that day, her cousin came over and she had me read it to them both. He is a little younger than her and he also enjoyed it. They had fun finding reoccurring lady bugs and bees in the pictures. I had fun watching them delight in the book. The artwork itself is unique and very adorable. It is about a girl and her magic un-brella which makes a winter day a sunny one and vice versa. This is Scott E. Franson's first book and will look forward to more by this author/illustrator.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-02-15 00:00:00 Eric Kole Un Brella is a wordless book that explores the tale of a little girl whose magic umbrella allows her to reverse the weather. The illustrations are magnificent. This book would be excellent for a first grade class. You could definitely utilize this book for an awesome writing lesson to create a written story. I would preview it with a small group and ask questions that would elicit my students' thoughts. I would have them observe what is happening in the story and compose their own story. I would also come up with a core vocabulary for the story with the students. This book would be an excellent tool in the classroom!
