Teatime for Ella
Karen Wallace, Rebecca Harry
Board book
(Macmillan Children's Books, Nov. 22, 2002)
Ella Elephant is bored of eating grass for tea, and complains to her mother. Everyone else in the jungle seems to have far more interesting food, so Ella sets out to try something new. First, she tries a mango - " Yuck! " She says. Then, she has some fish - " Eeew! " She says. And then, she eats some nuts - " Ick! " She says. But after a fruitless search Ella realises that what she really yearns for is a lovely bowl of crisp, green grass, and that she really does like it, after all. Second helpings, anyone? Part of a series of four jumbo-sized board books which deal with toddler experiences. Created by Karen Wallace, and beautifully brought to life by Rebecca Harry`s illustrations, Ella is a very special character, whom young children will love.
