Bookroo's summary

On moving day, a little girl discovers an unexpected guest: an elephant in her living room. Despite her attempts to alert her family, they remain oblivious, dismissing her claims with a puzzled 'Ella WHO?' As she navigates this whimsical adventure, the girl learns about friendship and the bittersweet nature of letting go. Will she convince her family of the elephant's presence, or is it a secret only she can see? Join her on this delightful journey filled with laughter and heartwarming moments.

From the publisher

Mom . . . there’s an elephant in the living room. It’s moving day–and look who slipped in the door: an elephant! But when a little girl tries to tell her family about their unusual guest, the distracted grown-ups just say, “Ella WHO?” Even as children giggle at the girl’s adventures with the smallish pachyderm, and at the fun, recurring refrain, they’ll relate to the poignant theme about making–and sometimes letting go of–new friends.

“Love the illustrations in this book! Cute story about a girl and an elephant. The only thing I didn't like was how oblivious the family is about her playing with an elephant, and that they don't seem to listen well to her.”
