All the world agrees that Eloise is delightful, and we are sooooooooo glad to have her back. The topic to be addressed here, then, is one of packaging. All four of the original Eloise tales are included in this volume, as well as Marie Brenner's nostalgic scrapbook penned for The Absolutely Essential Eloise edition. The only new material added is Hilary Knight's cover. It's a cheerful cover. But Eloise feels cramped, all mashed together. She needs the expanse of individual editions, needs the space and time between stories to truly shine. Close, but no cigar. 2000, Simon and Schuster. Ages All. Reviewer: Kathleen Karr
Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
Eloise, the wonderfully boisterous six-year-old from New York City, would name this collection of her four books nothing less than the Ultimate. From first glance, we knew Eloise was a pint-size force to be reckoned with -- and adored! She amuses, advises, and delights children (and adults) of all ages with her antics in the Plaza Hotel and around the world. This gorgeous collection features all four of Eloise's titles: Eloise in Moscow; Eloise in Paris; Eloise at Christmastime; and The Absolutely Essential Eloise. Witness her sending water down the mail chute, wearing Kleenex boxes on her head (they make fabulous hats), and generally getting away with anything. This lovely new edition will help you glorify all that is Eloise and feed your inner diva.From the Publisher
"Eloise is one of the more delightfully fiendish literary heroines of our time."— Edward I. Koch (former NYC mayor!!!)
"Eloise is a model for uppity women."
— Nina Totenberg (rawther important radio lady)
"Thanks to Eloise, my daughter sought independence and mastery over her life. We loved reading this book, and we've never given it away."
— Susan Sarandon (rawther grande actress)
"Ooooooo....I just love Eloise! Thank you, Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight. You're the bestest!"
— Judy Blume (lovely author)
"My first happy response to Eloise was entirely due to the brilliant, iconic images. That brazen, loose-limbed, deliciosly little girl monster is Hilary Knight at his best."
— Maurice Sendak (enormously famous artist)
"Eloise, Kay, and Hilary have been in my life always. And her pug puppy is in my heart. What memories!"
— Lena Horne (movie star)
