The Green UmbrellaWhen Elephant takes a peaceful walk with his green umbrella, he's interrupted by a hedgehog, cat, bear, and rabbit―each claiming that they’ve had exciting adventures with his umbrella. After all, it is an umbrella, and it certainly hasn’t been on any adventures more exciting than a walk in the rain. Or has it? Things aren’t always what they seem in this charming tale of imagination, sharing and friendship. Jackie Azúa Kramer and illustrator Maral Sassouni both make their debut in this fun read-aloud!
You’ll never hear "There’s nothing to write about" again with this BIG collection of imaginative writing prompts correlated with the calendar—from Thanksgiving to Elephant Appreciation Day, Abe Lincoln’s birthday to National Umbrella Week. A great way to provide meaningful writing practice every day of the school year!
Although linguistics is commonly defined as "the scientific study of language," a more honest characterization might be "anything anyone has to say about language that someone else is willing to listen to." "Linguistics" is an umbrella term used to cover a wide variety of only loosely connected disciplines.
Two friends go out to play in the green meadow. "Let's do something exciting!" they say. But when it starts to rain, it seems as if their day is over before it's even begun. All they can do is huddle under a leaf umbrella and complain. But then along comes a new kind of friend--Frog--who shows them that wet can be fun! Full color.

Zombies. Mutant animals. Bioengineered weapons and surgically enhanced monsters. Secret labs and widespread conspiracies. It seemed impossible, but Jill Valentine and her teammates among the S.T.A.R.S. had seen it all firsthand when the Umbrella Corporation turned Raccoon City into a staging ground for the most insidious genetic experiments ever conceived. After all she’s been through, Valentine is ready to leave that remote mountain community forever.
But Umbrella isn't finished with Raccoon City.
Too much evidence of their unethical and immoral research still exists. It must be recovered or destroyed—and quickly—before it can be traced back to Umbrella. And with William Birkin's mutagenic virus already spreading though the city like wildfire, drastic measures are needed. Under cover of night, mercenary teams have entered the city, along with something else—Umbrella's failsafe: an evolved version of its Tyrant-class killing machines, a lethal creature code-named Nemesis. Now Nemesis is on the hunt. And Jill Valentine is about to become prey.
