"I am Eloise/I am six." So begins Kay Thompson’s beloved children’s storyEloise, with illustrations by Hilary Knight. Originally written in 1955, the story of a precocious little girl who lives in the famed Plaza Hotel in New York City became an instant sensation. Eloise is the quintessential privileged city child who, apart from the help of a loving nanny, is left to essentially raise herself. Armed with curiosity, imagination, a daring spirit and the self-imposed mandate “getting board is not allowed”, Eloise fills her days with all sorts of adventures that sometimes lead to borderline trouble-to the chagrin of the tolerant hotel staff and guests. Amidst all the non-stop, amusing exploitsEloiseis a really a story about an independent, confident young girl unafraid to find her own path.
Characterized as “a book for precocious grown-ups”,Eloisedelights readers of all ages. YOTTOY’s Eloise collection brings this beloved character to life for children both young and old! It also allows parents and grandparents, who enjoyed Eloise and her adventures in their own youth, to share their love for Eloise with their children and grandchildren.
