Eloise

Eloise has been delighting readers for decades—though she’s still not a day over six! In her first-ever picture book, precocious Eloise gives a tour of her home—The Plaza Hotel—and introduces its many residents.

Eloise is a very special little girl who lives at The Plaza Hotel in New York City. She has the run of the place and knows absolutely everyone, from the Desk Clerk to the Bell Captain. The very best person in the hotel is Nanny.

Oh my Lord, Eloise has a very busy schedule, from slomping down the hall in her skates to attending weddings in the White and Gold Room to helping the day maid, the busboys, and the waiters. Above all else, being bored is not allowed!

Here’s the thing: Whether you are just about to fall in love with Eloise or have already baked her a cake, you ought to have this book. (Charge it please and thank you very much.)
