Synopsis
Ellen Tebbits is a juvenile fiction novel written by Beverly Cleary, her second book for kids and young adults. It was illustrated by Louis Darling and was first published in 1951. Even though the story is set in the 1950s, Cleary's knack for creating stories that are relevant even today is very much visible.
