Check out janbrett.com for some great retelling props.  The following is just one example of what you'll find.

The Umbrella Animals

You can print these masks and use them for a play.

This is a great project to use with my book The Umbrella

Thanks to excellent illustrator, Miron Kiriliv, for these great masks. The files are quite large and download slowly,
but I hope that you'll be pleased by the quality.
