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."
It is holiday time. Eloise hopes she will be the one to place the star atop the Christmas tree!
