Bella and Stella Come Home by Anika Denise and Christopher Denise

2010/40pgs.
About the Book: Bella and her stuffed Elephant Stella have to move. They like thier house and don't want a new one. The new house doesn't feel like home at all. But maybe after exploring and playing the house will feel like home.
Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: Bella and Stella Come Home is a cute read. The illustrations are adorable. When we first see Stella, she's a stuffed animal, but on other pages she transforms into a life size elephant, giving us a glimpse into Bella's imagination.
At first the new house seems different and not like home at all. But after Bella finds her tea set and her room starts to get set up, she realizes that maybe a new house isn't so bad. A great picture book to read if kids are moving to help ease their fears. It's also a great way to open up discussion on what a new house will be like, what will be the same and what will be different.
