Ella McBella in the Dark by Laura Pells

5.0

4.5 Stars
The name of our little heroine itself rhymes, and so does the entire story. The author chose the AA rhyme scheme and worked it very well to create a nice plot for kids. Ella is a busy girl, playing and having fun. But as it gets dark, she starts to fear the monsters in the shadows of her room.
The book shows how she finds the courage to fight the monsters and realize the importance of nighttime. Her books, teddy bears, and music are her strength.
The illustrations are super cute. Ella’s pom-pom hairstyle makes me want to tug them a little. I love the little monsters, especially when they grab a suitcase and walk away. So cute!
I received an ARC from NetGalley and Notable Kids Publishing and am voluntarily leaving a review.
