Cute (and chaotic!) look into what happens when a little girl is left to her own devices and virtually unlimited money. I've read some reviews calling her a selfish brat, but honestly, what do you expect when a child is basically neglected by her gallivanting mother and left to a less-than watchful nanny who smokes and drinks around her.

2015 review:
Yes, this was a very random read. I just needed a quick break from the series I'm reading, and when I was growing up I loved watching the tv show about Eloise, so I decided to read the book. Eloise is annoying and spoiled, but she's aldo adorable and reading about her made me so nostalgic. This book doesn't even have any good morals, so I'm not sure how good it is for an actual child, but I think they would be entertained, if nothing else.

I read this book as part of the Rory Gilmore reading challenge and well... Eloise is a spoiled and naughty child and apart from the cute illustrations, there was nothing remarkable about the story. Deeply disappointed.

I have loved this book since childhood. My father used to read it to me. I've read it to my kids. I still read it to my youngest.
