Ella Takes The Cake by Carmela D'Amico & Steven D'Amico 2005Ella loves to help, yet her mother tells her she is too small to assist in the family bakery. When the delivery man leaves an important cake behind, resourceful Ella comes up with a great idea.
As she wheels through town she encounters many obstacles. She takes on a stack of precarious books, and her friend Belinda. Despite these interruptions she is determined to make her delivery, and her success is right on time. Her mother can't deny that Ella is growing up, and that she is a very dependable little helper.
The delightful artwork of D'Amico is reminiscent of the French seaside, and the portrayal of small town life is very inviting.
Appropriate for ages 4-8
