Hello Room Sevice this is me ELOISE we're going to Paris France goodbye And so, our favourite enfant terrible (sporting her foreign identification travel tag) says au revoir to the Plaza and embarks with Nanny and Weenie on a Parisian adventure which is rawther extraordinaire. While whizzing through the streets, sights, and shops of Paris, Eloise comes to a few important conclusions about life avec les francais. Mainly, that 'you cawn't cawn't cawn't get a good cup of tea... so you have to have champagne with a peach in it' and that 'French bread makes very good skis'. Which pretty much sums it up. She also builds up an impressive collection of champagne corks.

"Brilliant [...] Hilary Knight at his best."Maurice Sendak, author of 'Where the Wild Things Are' Blow music of trinkles and drinkles of glass, there's Christmas everywhere It's Christmas Eve and Eloise is spreading cheer - and a little bit of chaos - throughout the Plaza hotel. There are carols to sing, trees to decorate, presents to wrap and parties to crash in this fabulously festive classic story with a fresh new look.
