About this listen

 Ella's counting the days until the first day of school, but not because she's eager to start! On the contrary, as the littlest elephant on Elephant Island, she's terribly nervous about the other kids she'll meet. Then she receives a beautiful red hat that belonged to her grandmother - her new lucky charm.©2004 Carmela D'Amico and Steven D'Amico (P)2006 Scholastic Inc.

Editor reviews

Diana Canova's vibrant, enthusiastic performance bristles with energy in Carmela and Steven D'Amico's enchanting Ella the Elegant Elephant, the story of a shy and diminutive elephant who relies on a gift from her beloved grandmother to help overcome relentless schoolyard bullying by the antagonistic Belinda.

Canova's pitch-perfect delivery enlivens this beautifully simple tale that puts a unique spin on familiar childhood themes, and the sparkling score coupled with evocative, cinematic sound effects will appeal to children of all ages.
