Synopsis
Eloise loves, loves, loves snow! So when the snow starts to fall in New York City, she rushes outside to have some fun and makes a snowman as only Eloise can!
Children's Literature
This level 1 "Ready to Read" early reader brings us Kay Thompson's Eloise in a younger reader format. Eloise wakes one morning and discovers it is snowing. Over the protests of her nanny, who wants her to eat breakfast, Eloise heads out to make a snowman in Central Park. Upon completion, Eloise realizes, "Something is missing." She has her driver return for a conventional carrot nose, but something is still not right. She continues to add to her snowman, including a coat, hat and scarf and eventually has a house built for him. When she's finally satisfied, she heads back to the Plaza for breakfast. This is an easily accessible incarnation of Eloise that's sure to please old fans and win a few new ones. The story is appealing to any child and the illustrations remain true to Hilary Knight's originals. This book and other Eloise easy readers are an excellent addition to collections for emerging readers.
