The Life of Ellie - Hardcover

by Jan Block (Author), Nick Reitenour (Illustrator), Erik Block (Editor)

The Life of Ellie is a sweet story about a young boy named Carson and his special stuffed animal, Ellie the elephant. Ellie is a pink stuffed elephant who is meant as a gift for a baby girl but soon finds herself in a growing friendship with an energetic, bright-eyed boy named Carson. Through their many adventures together- hiking in the mountains, trips to the beach and even to school, Carson teaches Ellie about the world they share, while Ellie shows Carson what it truly means to be a friend. As Carson gets older, he understands he will need to set Ellie aside as she will wait for a new turn to play with a special new friend.
