With thirty books to select from, it's no surprise that Eloise & Christmas have two volumes. It's a sorvusl time in NYC, especially in the Plaza. Tea, anyone? ( )

My son LOVES the Eloise books, including this one, but I felt it lacked the charm of the original three. ( )

Christmas is here and Eloise is really into the reason for the season. She gets everyone in the hotel a gift for the Holiday and spreads the Christmas cheer with writings on the walls and crashing parties.

This book was a lot easier for me to get through than Eloise in Moscow. Thompson rhymes the small paragraphs like a real Christmas story, which works a lot better with how Eloise speaks in one breathless sentence. The rhyming makes it easier and more enjoyable to read, because who doesn't like Christmas? The text is still small, but not as small as the little carol at the bottom of a few of the pages. Thompson really captures the wonder and adventure of a child in this one and I found myself laughing a few times. ( )

Eloise is something else. For some reason I thought I liked Eloise, but I was sadly mistaken. What a bratty, pretentious child. No thank you. There are much better books out there. ( )
