April Showers Bring the Yellow Umbrella!

For Letter U, I use the book Yellow Umbrella by Dong II Shen and Jae-Soo Liu. This wordless picture book has a beautiful music CD that accompanies the story. Students watch and listen carefully as the alluring story unfolds. During our alphabet journey through picture books I use two different books where the CD is used to further develop a child's listening skills. (Re: the other is for Letter J, the Jazz Fly.) Using a CD, or listening to a story read on a computer, offers a child different ways to access and interact with a story. Originally published in South Korea, this book also introduces students to music from another country.
