by Gillian Shields and Cally Johnson-Isaacs, Hodder Children's Books, paperback, 6.99
Ellie may have everything but this doesn't stop her from wanting and demanding more — like an elephant. Her father calls and writes, fusses and frets and finally delivers what his daughter wants. The elephant is unimpressed with Ellie's tantrums and decides to teach her a thing or two about manners — and sharing.
