Eloise at Christmastime (Eloise Series) » (For All Ages)

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."

Yes

Here she is at Christmastime

Complete with tinsel and holly

Singing fa la la la lolly

And over the roar of the jingle bells

You can hear hear hear her say

It's absolutely Christmas

But I don't mind a bit

I give everyone a present

For that's the thing of it

So when it's everly Christmastime

And you're under your Christmas trees

Simply tinkle a bell and have a trinkle

And remember

Me

Eloise
