1: A thoughtful story and captivating images
The Ella series continues to satisfy! My granddaughters are both huge fans of the Ella books and love her adventurous spirit. Ms. D'Amico opens doors of excitement and challenges for them to peer through, and opportunities for the adults in their lives to discuss choices and feelings which may otherwise have been left unexplored. I also love that the books are always so perfectly age-appropriate and can be read over and over again. My youngest granddaughter loves these books so much she has them pretty much memorized, and though, being four, she cannot yet read them herself, she likes to prop the books on her lap and pretend she's reading them to Daddy. As always, we look forward to the next one!

2: Another Winning Story for my Ella Collection
Once again a very entertaining "Ella" story that will captivate children and provide adults with numerous scenarios to discuss with their little ones. The heightened sense of suspense, rarely found in tales for this age group, intensifies the power to impart important lessons, while maintaining a positive, loveable character in the persona of the adorable Ella. All of the children in my family love the "Ella" books and are sure to be "gifted" these, as well. I welcome the opportunity to discuss "do and don't do" situations with them that are provided in the story line.

3: We love it!!!
My daughter and son have all of these books and "absolutely" love them. They pick them out by the color and yellow is first pick right now. My daughter is hoping for a purple one to complete this rainbow of books. We keep our eyes out for any new releases to add to this delightful collection. We have the Ella plush dolls and look forward to finding more Ella items. My daughter is starting kindergarten and has me on the hunt for an Ella lunchbox.......Does this even exist? I'll keep looking!!

4: Not as good as the 1st 'Ella' books
This book is the latest 'Ella' book, which I purchased for my daughter Ella who has all the 'Ella' books so far. The first books we have read over and over. This one she has asked to read only twice. Although the story is nice, we're not big believers in "luck," which is the strong emphasis of this book. Ella must rely on tremendous amounts of "luck" in this story as she disregards authority and her own safety to set sail in a storm after her lost hat. I believe this book is teetering on the edge of over-glorifying Ella's impetuous,naive behavior. I realize it is just a story, but my young daughter looks at Ella as a heroine, especially because they share a name.
