A farmer had a gun to make the circus elephant called Ella do the plowing and a lot of his own jobs. Why didn't he use some oxen?

As with all Bill Peet's books, there is a strong moral story. Ella learns to get over herself and appreciate others.

Adorable. I like how Peet teaches lessons straightforwardly, but not didactically.

Did I read this as a kid? I'm thinking I must have since it was written in 1964. Great book to teach kids to work hard and do their share.
