About This Book

Eloise is a six-year-old who lives at The Plaza hotel in New York City. She charges room service, pours water down the mail chute, and terrorizes the staff — all while her nanny and absent mother remain oblivious.

Why This Age

The sophisticated vocabulary, rapid-fire narration, and social satire work best for 5-6 year olds with strong listening comprehension.

How to Use

  • Read with Eloise's breathless, confident voice
  • Discuss the hotel setting — most kids find it exotic
  • Talk about rules and what happens when nobody enforces them
