Merry Christmas, Eloise!

Kay Thompson's Eloise

by Kay Thompson (Primary Contributor)

Ooooooooooo, Eloise absolutely loves Christmas!

Lift the flaps on every scene and watch Eloise as she visits a store and zooms through the toy department, gets spritzed with perfume, carols through the streets, trims everything in her Plaza Hotel suite, and much more!

Now this is a Christmas to remember!

Reviews

[Rod Brown]

A fairly good mimic of the art and tone of the original Eloise books, this picture book tells a slight story of Eloise shopping for Christmas presents and getting into a little mischief along the way.

The flaps for the lift-the-flaps function are enormous by the way, effectively acting as a page turn within each page, telling more of the story -- showing the outcome of Eloise's mischief usually -- rather than exposing a little element as other lift-the-flap books tend to do.

My wife and daughter have always liked Eloise more than I, so I think they got more out of this.

Found at a cottage. Reminded me that I do not enjoy this series.

An annoying rich kid gets whatever she wants...not my cup of tea but the kids were amused for a minute or two.
