On a windy day, a dog holding an umbrella that has become inverted is blown away on a fantastic journey. His travels take him to an assortment of habitats around the world, where he gets a glimpse of the way other animals live and has the opportunity to interact with a few of them. A close examination of each two-page spread will lead to a better understanding of the assistance he receives from others during his travels.
USBBY'S 2012 Outstanding International Books list, "All Together Now," says that "this wordless picture book uses large, colorful, yet soft images to depict the sky, landforms, and animals the dog sees before safely returning home."
