Eloise's Christmas Trinkles Book

Children's Literature

The inimitable Eloise twirls and runs through the Plaza Hotel on Christmas Eve bringing her idea of Christmas decorating and caroling to everyone she meets. "I'm rawther fond of caroling/ Fa la on every floor " She delivers gifts to the staff, her dog and turtle, and to her beloved Nanny. Her "mother called long distance from the Mediterranean," making Eloise a little wistful. However, her dear Nanny knows just the thing to say. This small book is adapted from Eloise at Christmastime, first published in 1958. Knight's pen & ink drawings of this precocious little girl and her antics are still perfectly suited to the droll text. Reviewer: Sharon Salluzzo
