    Cover of 'Eloise' by Kay Thompson

    "Eloise" is a delightful children's book that follows the adventures of a precocious six-year-old girl who lives in the Plaza Hotel in New York City. With a rich imagination and a wild spirit, Eloise has a penchant for mischief and mayhem, navigating the grand hotel with her pug dog, Weenie, and her turtle, Skipperdee. Under the nominal supervision of her often-absent mother and her caring nanny, Eloise explores the ins and outs of hotel living, charming and sometimes exasperating the staff and guests with her antics and adventures. The story captures the whimsy and chaos of childhood through the eyes of its uniquely spirited protagonist.
