Ella Bella Ballerina and Cinderella

The 2nd book in the delightful Ella Bella Ballerina series will transport you to the magical world of Cinderella in this enchanting re-imagination of the classic fairy tale.

Ella Bella loves her ballet class, which is conducted by the kindly Madame Rosa at an old theatre that seems touched by magic. One day, when Ella loses one of her slippers, Madame Rosa lends her another pair for dancing–and is then reminded of Cinderella and her story of the lost slipper.

Madame Rosa recounts Cinderella’s tale to her students, and Ella Bella listens with great interest. When their day’s lesson has ended Ella lingers in the theatre, then opens Madame Rosa’s music box and listens as it plays melodies from the Cinderella ballet. Suddenly, Cinderella’s fairy godmother magically appears, and Ella Bella is transported into the beloved story of Cinderella.

This beautiful book’s final page describes the ballet Cinderella, with music by the great Russian composer, Sergei Prokofiev.
