A very sharp, attractive example of this picture book written and illustrated by Bill Peet. Out of print in hardcover. Scarce in dustjacket. And scarce in this condition.

Ella the elephant thinks of herself as a famous circus star, but gets a lesson in humility when a mean farmer puts her to work. Full color Peet artwork on every page.

Bill Peet (1915-2002) wrote and illustrated over 35 books for children. His autobiography was a Caldecott Honor Award Winner in 1989. During his 27 years at Disney making animated films (1937-1964), Bill Peet became Walt Disney's greatest storyman.
