A very sharp, attractive example of this picture book written and illustrated by Bill Peet. Out of print in hardcover. Scarce in dustjacket. And scarce in this condition.

Ella the elephant thinks of herself as a famous circus star, but gets a lesson in humility when a mean farmer puts her to work. Full color Peet artwork on every page.

Bill Peet (1915-2002) wrote and illustrated over 35 books for children. His autobiography was a Caldecott Honor Award Winner in 1989. During his 27 years at Disney making animated films (1937-1964), Bill Peet became Walt Disney's greatest storyman.

This came from the library of Burny Mattinson (1935-2023), an animator, director, producer, and story artist for Walt Disney Animation Studios, from 1953 until his death in 2023. Mattinson directed Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Great Mouse Detective. He was named a Disney Legend in 2008 and was the longest serving employee of The Walt Disney Company, with a career that spanned almost 70 years. His extensive library included numerous subjects and especially large collections of books on Disney, animation, and classic comic strips.
