I found Eloise to be a rawther precocious brat. But something about the book! This was my first experience with Eloise, and I had no idea what I was getting into. No punctuation, no grammar to speak of, invented words and creative spelling all over the place...not to mention the incredible illustrations!

Not as good as the original, but that would be RATHER hard to accomplish. This felt like more of a checklist-y must-see list of things to do in Paris by Eloise and not much storyline. It does have it’s moments!

Eloise is still a pill in this book, but I loved it because I want to go to Paris, and I LOVE how she'll throw in French words with English. It was actually much cuter than the original book, and I think this one will definitely get passed along to the niece!

Another fun journey with Eloise, this time to Paris! Eloise has to speak in French, of course, and absolutely everything is amazing. A fun book, good story.

What do I love most about picture books? Is it the simple text that tells so much in so few words? Or is it the brilliant pictures, an art gallery of drawings and paintings in every book?

Eloise in Paris is a magnifiqué picture book, with the simple text plus brilliant pictures plus the charming Eloise and, of course, Paris. Eloise visits Paris and shares her brilliant insights into French culture, circa 1957. Experience Paris through the eyes of a clever and mischievous eight-year-old.
