Eloise (Kay Thompson's Eloise) 
Eloise is a little girl who lives at The Plaza Hotel in New York. She is not yet pretty but she is already a Person.
Henry James would want to study her.
Queen Victoria would recognize her as an Equal.
The New York Jets would want to have her on their side.
Lewis Carroll would love her (once he got over the initial shock).
She knows everything about The Plaza. She is interested in people when they are not boring.
She has Inner Resources.
If you take her home with you, you will always be glad you did.
This book, oh this gloriously wicked and funny book, is one of my greatest pleasures. Kay Thompson was godmother to Liza (Lizaaa!) Minelli and wrote the Eloise series inspired by both the antics of Liza, and the experiences that Thompson herself had as living at the Plaza. And it is glorious. Eloise is a furiously fabulous creation, full of stubborn humour and eccentric pleasures. And she lives. Thats such a thing for a character in a book of this nature, wrapped in long lines of text and
This book should be titled: "How to be a spoiled little bitch." I asked my little boy if he's like to read some books the other day, and he brought over this one, asking if I'd read it next. I'd never read it before, which is fine with me. I like to read him new books. Too much repetition can get wearying to me. But this book... Seriously. It pissed me off. I've read bad children's books before. Books with bad stories. Books that were nausiating with sweetness and love. Books that were obviously

The frenetically active Eloise, once described by Maurice Sendak as a "little girl monster," made her debut in 1955 in this eponymous chronicle of her many adventures at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, where her antics kept the staff (and her nanny) on their toes. Possessed of a seemingly inexhaustible supply of energy, Eloise liked to ride up and down the elevators, make noise in the hallways, and enjoy room service with Nanny. A six-year-old with a mind of her own, and with very decided
2.5* - I'm willing to concede that the charm of this book is more suited to the decade it was written in but it failed to charm me. I found it quite irritating.
Ooooooooooooooo I absolutely love this book series so much! It is written in the stream of consciousness style of a 6 year old girl talking without any punctuation. Eloise (the 6 year old girl) lives in the Park Plaza Hotel and has many adventures within it. Nanny is her mostly companion, but her turtle, Skipperdee, and dog, Weenie, join in on the fun as well. These books contain much humor, engaging even & sometimes even more so, the adult reading the book. I recommend this series

I know that Kay Thompson's and Hilary Knight's Eloise is considered both a classic and for many seemingly a personal and nostalgic favourite (and also very much a slice of genuine New York City life, as Eloise's place of residence, the Plaza, is a bona fide Midtown Manhattan luxury hotel). And if I simply look at Eloise as a character, as a person, as a child, I do see much to cherish and to tenderly if not even glowingly appreciate (her voice, her imagination, her often delightful games andThis book, oh this gloriously wicked and funny book, is one of my greatest pleasures.
