Reading U-V's

Under my umbrella are book ideas for both the letter "U" and
  the letter "V" including "Un-Brella" by Scott E. Franson.
In this wordess book, a little girl uses her magic umbrella to give her
 the weather she wants, regardless of what the conditions really are outside.
 
Zach is a fan of a series called "The Unwanteds"
by Lisa McMann-- a series described as
"The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter."

Other "U's" you might choose to read:
"Up and Down" by Oliver Jeffers"
"The Ugly Duckling"--a classic fairy tale
or a book about the universe or the USA or Utah!
Or a book about under the sea or Uh-Oh . . .
"Underwear:What We Wear Under There"--
a non-fiction title you might find at your local library!

I read an interesting book called "Under the Egg" by
Laura Marx Fitzgerald.  In this book Theodora Tenpenny spills
a bottle of rubbing alcohol on her late grandfather's painting of
an egg and she discovers what seems to be an old Renaissance
painting underneath it. So she sets out to solve the mystery
in this 5-star book!
As for the letter "V",  I read "The View from Saturday"
which is a 1996 Newbery Medal winner by E.L. Konigsburg.
It was a very good book, also and told the story of four members
of an extraordinarily successful 6th grade quiz bowl team.

Other books you very well might like to read:
"The Velveteen Rabbit" by Margery Williams
or books about vegetables, Vikings,  volcanoes
or valentines including a book "Unvalentine"
by Sam Beeson which could count as a "U" or "V" book.

So there you go!
Love, Grandma
