Book Overview

Bonjour Here's the thing of it: Paris has just been discovered by Eloise the little girl from the Plaza... Here is what Eloise does in Paris: everything. The effect is rawther extraordinaire. If you come to Paris with Eloise you will always be glad you did. Eloise in Paris was first published in 1957, the second of the Eloise quartet, and an immediate bestseller. Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight traveled to Paris to research the book, and the illustrations are dotted with the celebrities they knew there: Richard Avedon takes Eloise's passport photograph; Christian Dior prods her tummy, while his young assistant, Yves Saint Laurent, looks on; Lena Horne sits at an outdoor caf . All four Eloise books by the late Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight -- Eloise: The Absolutely Essential Edition, Eloise in Paris, Eloise at Christmastime, and Eloise in Moscow -- are now being reissued by Simon & Schuster.

Am I missing something?

By Hannah, February 26, 2022 Verified Purchase

It is terribly written. There is no punctuation at all. And the story just seems all over the place.

J'Aime Beaucoup Eloise!

The book is a worthy sequel to the original Eloise by patterning the story as much as possible after the first book. Whether...

My Favorite Childhood Book!

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 20, 1999

This was my absolute favorite childhood book! I read it at least 1000 times! It allowed me to fantasize what it was like to be a rich little girl and travel to Paris (something I still haven't done!). It also gave me an interest in learning French, which I studied for 10 years. Most of all, it allowed me to see that being a strong, freeminded, quirky girl (woman) was OK. Eloise doesn't have a hard time saying what she means...

I am so happy this book is finally back in print!

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 10, 1999

I first discovered this book about 11 years ago in Paris. I read the French version to the children I cared for. What a wonderful children's story. Ever since, I have often imagined what it would be like to be Eloise (ahem, that's Heloise in French) wandering around as a child in Paris for the first time. Imagine the magic! It's what little girl's daydreams are made of! My French children loved the book and carried it with...
