"A tiny counting book in which a little girl takes a walk on a clear day with her red umbrella. Soon the umbrella becomes highly useful as it shelters from a shower all manner of familiar little animals, who come, conveniently, in different denominations--one dog, two kittens, one lamb, three pigs, one bear, four rabbits, etc. The numbers are not used mechanically, and by the time the reader has finished with this adventure, he not only has been taken through his arithmetic paces, but he has had a lovely and diverting walk."-Kirkus Review
