Ella, of Course!

By Sarah Weeks

Book Overview

Ella love-love- loves her brand-new umbrella. It's sky blue with white clouds, and it makes the most satisfying whoosh . . . click sound. Rain or shine, Ella insists on taking it with her everywhere. Unfortunately, a whoosh-click ing umbrella can cause serious trouble . . . especially at a ballet recital. It's a good thing Ella is a problem solver, because she's going to need to be creative to get what she wants. Sarah Weeks and Doug Cushman deliver a hilarious and universal tale about a little girl's trouble letting go of a favorite object.

Customer Reviews

Great message for girls

Ella is a problem solver, so when she runs into a dilemma rather than sulking or throwing up her hands (hooves?) in despair, she meets the challenge head on. Funny, clever, well-written, charming with a great message - especially for little girls. What more could you want from a picturebook? Oh, and I almost forgot --the pictures are wonderful too!

A fresh storyline...

I found this book to be delightful. The writing craft is great for teachers looking for mentor texts. The story is a superb read aloud. Kids will love it. The story line is well done and the illustrations are terrific. I am buying multiple copies when I find them. A great buy.
