Leila Rudge.
Ella proclaims that she is in charge of this book, and it will have a princess (herself) and a monster but no bears, not a one. Readers will see that there is a bear in the book they're reading, one who eventually rescues the princess from the monster. Both the story and the delicate, droll pictures draw readers in, along with the many fairy-tale details to discover.
