Hi Donna. I don't know the answer to this, but that has never stopped me from posting in the past. :-)
I can see why you would think "che bella", given the nouns involved. But I wonder if "che bello" is a more generic phrase that isn't tied to either of those nouns? I say this because that pattern - sentence, followed by "che bello!" happens more than once in the exercises, and I don't ever recall hearing "che bellA".
Anyone else have an opinion?

I believe it has to do with the concept, without regard to describing a noun.

Robert is right, the expression "che bello" refers to the concept, to the situation, not to a specific noun. It can also be translated as "what a nice thing!" or "how lovely". It is used to show the speaker's enthusiasm about something.
