Gumbrella

By Barry Root

Gumbrella loves cute little animals, and she's the "take-charge" type. So when her brother, Trumbull, comes home with a hurt mouse, naturally she starts an animal hospital. Soon the house is filled with sick animals, and Gumbrella couldn't be happier. There's only one problem. Months later when they are all feeling fine, Gumbrella can't bear to let them go home. In the first book that Barry Root has both written and illustrated, his wry humor captures all the vulnerability behind even the bossiest of big sisters.

Gumbrella

Gumbrella is as entertaining as a movie on a Friday night. First you have an elephant trying to help young and innocent animals.Through out the book this becomes a problem. Second Gumbrella is having as much fun as a kid in a toy store while she is helping the woodland creatures. Will her joy get the best of her? Third It is winter know and all of the animals are getting restless, but she tells them they can go home in the spring. Spring finally arrives and Gumbrella soon finds that the animals are gone. Gumbrella at that time remembers that what goes up must come down or in other words karma.This book is entertainng for kids of all ages.
