The Green Umbrella by Jackie Azua Kramer

An old-fashioned friendship tale with delightful illustrations. One rainy day, Elephant is cheerfully walking around town with his trusty green umbrella when he is stopped by Hedgehog, Cat, and Bear, all claiming ownership of the umbrella. Each is equally convinced the umbrella is theirs, and each uses it differently: for Hedgehog, it's a boat; for Cat, a tent; and for Bear, a flying machine. Elephant respectfully disagrees with each in turn, but he invites them to take shelter under the umbrella with him when it starts raining.

Available in the library as a print book.

The Umbrella by Jan Brett

The Umbrella is a delightful story in a tropical forest setting. Carlos sets out in search of exotic animals that live among the thick vines and tropical foliage. He takes along a green umbrella, which he sets down at the base of a tree before climbing up for a better view. While Carlos scans the sea of green, hoping to spot a few forest friends, a variety gathers inside his umbrella, right under his nose.
