Eloise: A Book for Precocious Grown Ups [J0420]

1983 HCDJ in Gift-Worthy condition. 8 X 11 Illustrated by Hilary Knight. Depicts the life of a little girl who lives at the Plaza Hotel in New York, in whimsical rhyme at Christmastime. "Yes; Here she is at Christmastime; Complete with tinsel and holly; Singing fa la la la lolly; And over the roar of the jingle bells' You can hear hear hear her say; It's absolutely Christmas; But I don't mind a bit I give everyone a present; For that's the thing of it; So when it's everly Christmastime; And you're under your Christmas trees; Simply tinkle a bell and have a trinkle; And remember Me"--Eloise

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Such a whimsical book! All of the illustrations were beautiful."; "Eloise, the inimitable, unstoppable resident of the Plaza Hotel, shares what she does on Christmas Eve (decorating, caroling, and walking around finding ways to stay up hawlf the night) and you cannot help but smile. Probably better for slightly older kids, but even the younger ones seemed to enjoy the rhyming hijinks. Do yourself a favor and read this book....even if there aren't any kids around."; "Eloise is a class act in a league of her own! I think Christmas at the Plaza would be chaotically good fun! Happy Holiday Reading!"
