Eloise, Please!

Eloise: The Ultimate EditionHave you read Kay Thompson's Eloise? It's the story of a precocious 6-year old city child who lives at the Plaza in New York City! Altho first published in 1955 (!) reading it now still makes me laugh, laugh, laugh! And makes me want to stay at a posh hotel, order room service and charge it please thank you very much! I also absolutely love the illustrations of Hilary Knight, who drew all the Eloise books. His colors? Black, white and pink all over!

Eloise has been around for more than 50 years and yet she's never been a day over 6. She's so loved that generations of little girls and their mothers go to the Plaza Hotel, not just to see the little brass plaque that lists it as a Literary Landmark (as the Home of Eloise, of course!), but also to look at Eloise's fawbulous painting in the gold lobby!

Hmmm... maybe I should have a little sister...
