Ellen Tebbits
Ellen Tebbits | Beverly Cleary
5 posts | 15 read
Ellen was eight years old and wore bands on her teeth. Her best friend had just moved away and she missed her. Still, as she walked to the Spofford School of the Dance one Saturday, she was almost glad she had no best friend. Best friends do not have secrets from each other, and Ellen had a secret she did not want to share with anyone. But by the time the dancing lesson was over (surely the most devastating dancing lesson on record), Ellen had found a best friend and shared her secret. The best friend was Austine, and the secret was that Ellen was wearing woolen underwear. So was Austine! This whole book is a cause for rejoicing, for Mrs. Cleary has done it again. Ellen Tebbits is as funny as Henry Huggins. Perhaps it is even funnier. The children who read it will decide for themselves. Louis Darling, who has provided the wonderful illustrations, has already made his decision. He calls it a draw.

I took a long drive with my mom and we picked out this book together. It was so cute! She remembered reading it when she was young. Ellen Tebbits has to deal with the up and downs of friends and bullies of the fourth grade while hiding a secret. A secret that her best friend shares.

Recently I traveled to Portland, OR. A friend and I did the walking tour of the neighborhood where Beverly Cleary lived in her childhood and also where she took some of names for her books. In Ellen Tebbits, Ellen and her best friend live on Tillamook Street!

Ellen Tebbits is in the third grade and she feels lonely because many of her friends have moved away, not to mention a major wardrobe issue she tries to keep secret from the other girls in her dance class.

All of us are different and should never forget the gift of friendship. Especially a friend who can show you how to mend a torn skirt with scotch tape.
