Eloise Breaks Some Eggs (Ready-to-Read: Kay Thompson's Eloise) »

A nightclub musician with a one-of-a-kind personality, Kay Thompson turned her comical six-year-old alter ego Eloise into a children's classic featuring verselike prose and Hilary Knight's inimitable illustrations. Eloise's life at New York's Plaza Hotel is an enviable, whimsical one that readers cawn't, cawn't cawn't forget. As Rex Reed wrote in 1972, "If you don't know who Kay Thompson is, please turn the page. You just flunked pizazz."

Nanny and the cook try to teach Eloise to cook. But Eloise doesn't think they should bother — she's got room service!

And for slightly older fans, two Ready-to-Read titles introduce readers to the heroine's tutor in Eloise Has a Lesson ("Philip says, `What is five plus six?' I say, `You do not know?' "); and in Eloise Breaks Some Eggs, she cooks up a mess at her cooking lesson in the Plaza's kitchen. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
