During the course of twelve short chapters, Ellen and her stuffed lion roam the world having adventures without ever leaving home. In this welcome reissue, Johnson, whose illustrations of Ellen will be instantly familiar to fans of Harold and the Purple Crayon, provides an uncannily accurate picture of a child's imagination at play.
