 An umbrella goes to Berlin on holiday with its owner, Ed, but is left in the hotel because every day, the weather is sunny and warm. Ed visits the Brandenburg Gate, what’s left of the Berlin Wall. and the Holocaust Memorial. On the last day of the holiday, the umbrella rolls off the windowsill, pops open, and floats outside. The umbrella flies over all the sights Ed had talked about. It also flies over the Berlin Zoo, Central Square, and the Reichstag building. Later at the hotel, Ed and his umbrella are reunited and Ed says, “Well old sport, I guess you got to see Berlin after all!” The expressionistic paintings in mostly earth tones round out this fun story. mjw |
