The last time we met Ella Bella she was part of the ballet Sleeping Beauty. In this companion book, the magical music box whirls Ella Bella into Cinderella's world, where she dances at the Royal Ball and assists in bringing about the happily-ever-after ending. Surrounded by ample white space, Mayhew's delicate illustrations help move the less-than-inspired tale along.
