Shy elephant Ella is back for her third adventure and his time she's preparing for the school talent show. Despite her best efforts, Ella can't pinpoint her special ability until she--predictably--receives applause for her work organizing the event. Illustrations à la Madeline-meets-Babar are painted in deep, muted colors, infusing Elephant Island with old-world charm.
