About Book

The third installment of an award-winning children’s series, The Amazing Adventures of Ellie the Elephant: Ellie Goes to School follows the charming plush toy and her best friend, Pudgy the Penguin, as they brave their latest exploratory journey—elementary school. 

Having recently moved, Ellie is worried about her first day at a new school. But, encouraged by the presence of her trusted penguin sidekick, the little elephant decides to view the next few hours as just another buddy adventure packed with exciting surprises. 

Throughout the day, Ellie and Pudgy meet the classroom pets, take a trip to the library, discover interesting instruments in music class, and so much more. They even learn a valuable lesson about friendship when they encounter a lonely student at recess. By the end of the day, the two best friends can’t wait to return to school the next morning! 

Filled with delightful, real-life pictures of the plush elephant and penguin duo, Ellie Goes Back to School helps kids see that school is a safe place and learning is a fun adventure.

My Thoughts

Ellie the elephant and her friend Pudgy the penguin were a little nervous at first but ended up having a great adventure on their first day of school.  So many new things to learn about like shapes, reading and much more.  In class there was a live bunny rabbit and a gecko.  They even had gym class, visit to the library and recess.  At recess they even made new friends. Then at the end of the day they rode a big yellow bus home from school.  

I was completely exhausted after reading about their first day at school.  I wonder if they needed a nap when they got home or if they were still full of energy.  It has been a long time since I was small and going to school I forgot how many exciting things there are to do in one day of school.  

It was indeed a real adventure reading "Ellie Goes Back To School".  Can't wait to read about her other adventures. 

I liked the illustrations. It was like looking through a scrapbook of Ellie and Pudgy on there first day of school. So very cute!  Who doesn't love stuffed animals?

I highly recommend this book.

I rated this book a 5 out of 5.
