Ella Sets the Stage

Miss Bell says the school talent show is going to be "fun and festive," but Ella is nervous about performing in front of others. Besides, what would she do? She tries drumming, but her mother calls it a "racket." She tries juggling, but the coconuts bonk her on the head. And singing? Not after someone says she can't carry a tune. While Ella continues to look for her own special talent, she paints signs, makes award ribbons, and helps put together the program. Full-color art.
