Ella the Elegant Elephant


Ella the Elegant Elephant by Carmela and Steven D'Amico, Arthur A. Levine Books (Scholastic), 2004, ISBN 0-439-62792-3
PS: Ella is nervous about the first day of school in her new town, but wearing her grandmother's good luck hat makes her feel better-- until the other students tease her and call her names.
Cute story about being different and being teased about it, then coming to the bully's rescue and finally being accepted. Would work well with kindergartners or first graders.
Other books about Ella: Ella Takes the Cake, Ella Sets the Stage, and Ella Sets Sail.
