Ella -- Alex T Smith A Cinderella story with a difference is promised in this new picture book for toddlers from Scholastic.
Ella to the unaided into cooks, cleans, tigers and polishes but to get a word of thanks.
Her stepsisters are waspish -- literally -- and are overjoyed to be invited to the Grand Bug Ball by handsome artist Pierre.
The wasps take a long Ella to carry their bags, but she meets the artist with the careful enough.
The next morning it's not a glass slipper that Pierre is left with, but the memory of what Ella looks like -- and he paints her likeness in order to find her.
