James Mayhew - All books by this author Ella Bella loves her ballet class, conducted by Madame Rosa at an old theater. One day, when Ella loses one of her slippers, Madame Rosa lends her another pair for dancing—and is then reminded of Cinderella and her story of the lost slipper. Madame Rosa recounts the tale to her students, and Ella Bella listens with heightened interest. When their day’s lesson has ended, Ella lingers at the theater, then opens Madame Rosa’s music box and listens as it plays melodies from the Cinderella ballet. Suddenly, Cinderella’s fairy godmother magically appears, and Ella Bella is transported into the beloved story of Cinderella. This delightful book’s final page describes the ballet Cinderella, with music by the great Russian composer, Sergei Prokofiev.
