Mother-daughter duo Marci Fair and Elle Fair have coauthored a series of books about eleven-year-old Elle’s two favorite stuffed animals, Ellie the Elephant and Pudgy the Penguin.

As a working mother of four, Marci has always encouraged her children to read and has spent many years reading bedtime stories with them. Elle has loved reading and loved her stuffed animals, so collaborating on these books has been a special project for them together.

The fourth installment of an award-winning children’s series, The Amazing Adventures of Ellie the Elephant: Ellie’s Best Beach Vacation Ever! follows the charming plush toy and her best friend, Pudgy the Penguin, as they enjoy a summer adventure on a wonderful beach vacation!

The excitement mounts as Ellie and Pudgy pack their beach balls and sunglasses and jump in the car for the game-filled drive to the coast.

Once they arrive, Ellie and Pudgy head straight for the beach to dig in the warm sand, swim in the sparkly blue ocean, and see lots of colorful fish. Then they head out for an afternoon packed full of fun!

Join in the adventure as these best friends share many new experiences while on their special beach vacation—traveling to a new place, trying new activities, riding bikes, enjoying a froggie lunch and sweet treats, swimming, building the biggest sandcastle ever, visiting an un-butterfly garden and much more as they spend a sunny day outside and explore this special beach town!

Don’t miss the first three installments: “Ellie Makes A New Friend,, “Ellie’s First Plane Ride” and “Ellie Goes Back To School.”

REVIEW

I hadn't read any of the other books by Elle and Marci Fair. This is my first one. It's so cute! The main characters are Ellie and Pudgy. The reader follows them as they go to the beach. Children at times, can relate the characters to toys they had as children. Usually there is one stuffed animal that a child falls in love with, takes everywhere with them and sleeps with them. Those are precious moments that we don't want to lose. The authors put into words and pictures a wonderful and interesting children's book. Some of the illustrations are cartoon and some are real life. Good mix. The illustrations are colorful and go with the story. A good lesson that is presented in this book is always try to be a nice person and treat others as you would like to be treated. This would be a great book for children, parents, grandparents, teachers and anyone who likes remembering those days gone by. Sometimes little ones are afraid of new places. This book will help them find out that traveling to new places can be fun. So many different things to see and learn about. Great children's book for those car trips, camping or going to Grandmas.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the authors for my unbiased review. No other compensation took place.

I would give this book 5 STARS.
