Ms. Gerry Thomas has written a fast-paced, uplifting, charming story of magical make-believe. The magical umbrellas are charming as they come to life, play in the rain and run a race for the children. Melissa and her umbrella, Rainbow, have a fantastic day playing in the rain with her friends until the sun comes out and dries the rain.
Ms. Thomas' surprise ending is exactly perfect for the story. I read it to my preschooler grandson and he absolutely loved it and wanted it read again. It has joined his bookshelf.
The Umbrella Race is a hard cover book that will stand the test of
small hands and be read many times over. Congratulations, Ms. Thomas, for a book well done that captures the imaginations of the younger reader set.
