Ella the Elegant Elephant

Ella is an elegant elephant with a magical hat who has moved to Elephant Island with her mother. I love these sweet adventures by Carmela D'Amico about Ella as she navigates her way around the island and at school. Ella faces different challenges from her schoolmates but always manages to find her way to happy endings. The pictures are gorgeous. Try these books out--I think you may fall in love with Ella too. So far we've read Ella the Elegant Elephant (the first book) and its sequels Ella Takes the Cake and Ella Sets the Stage. There's a new book, Ella Sets Sail, that just came out in 2008, and we are looking forward to reading that one too.
