A little girl goes out with her red umbrella just in case it rains. It does rain and she puts up her umbrella, which is very small and just the right size for her. On each page, however, she is joined by newcomers seeking shelter from the rain: a little dog, some kittens, some rabbits, a lamb, etc. The umbrella magically grows until it's big enough to shelter the little girl and the entire menagerie, including a great big bear!
Notes
Very cute illustrations.
