cadyly's review against another edition

This was a very endearing and real portrayal of a very self-indulged and bratty little girl. I, in parts, loved it and then, wanted to discipline her and tell her mother to come home and pay attention to her daughter. :)

This was incredibly cute and a fun break from my normal reads. I didn't grow up with Eloise as part of my library, but I definitely see why it's considered a classic.

One of my favorite precocious female protagonists. Eloise is unstoppable and hilarious!

Cute & fun with a very adventurous 6 year old. When she is engaged in all of these shinnanigans, where is Nanny?

The Plaza Hotel will always be one of my favorite places. Its stunning and holds a lot of NYC history. This story Eloise, a spunky little girl who likes in NYC and her adventures with her best friend, Nanny is like The Suite Life of Zack and Cody for little kids. This will always be my favorite. Eloise holds a special place in my heart.
