I purchased this book for my granddaughter, and almost couldn't give it to her because I wanted to keep it for myself! It has the traditional Eloise stories, which are great, but the real jewel here is the back section of the book. In this section you'll find photos of many of the Eloise products through the years, and a lovely history of the little girl and how she grew to be America's most precocious, most lovable six year old.

I loved the original Eloise and was so happy to be able to share it with my granddaughter. She also loves Eloise. It's nice to pass good reading experiences on.

This is a very very nice edition of the original Eloise book. My 5 yr old loves it. I feel like it's a pleasure to hold a beautiful book and read it to my little girl several times a week. I would recommend this ed over the one with three books in one specifically for that reason. It is very difficult to have to hold such an ungainly book and read it for such a long time. The Eloise stories take a while to get through. I personally prefer single book editions unless you are a collector. This is probably the nicest edition out there of this book. Well worth it.

Eloise at the Plaza is one of my all time favorite books-but when I bought this edition for my niece I was unhappy to find that some lines have been changed, and at least one picture deleted. Now I don't know where to find an original.

I Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove the books
i got my first eloise book when i was 6, and i am now 13 and last year i got my first eloise doll.
i think the book has no age limits, as kay thompson wrote in the front cover of "Eloise" the first book "a book for precious grown-ups".
my mum still sometimes borrows my copy to read.
there are alot of things in it that you dont pick up on the first time you read it, and only now am i getting some of the jokes in it.
i agree, to hard for a 4 year old, but it should go from 6-106 years old.
once you have met eloise, she stays in your family forever.
(go to www.meeloise.com for more eloise stuff, and also www.eloisewebsite.com is good too!)

tHIS CAME QUICKLY AND WAS IN GREAT CONDITION- BROUGHT ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD! I WILL BE ORDRERING ANOTHER ONE!

Eloise is a classic for all ages. It was my favorite book as a kid in the 70's and is still one today. It is a baby shower gift much appreciated by all moms and daughter alike.

Too long and complicated for a 4 year old. Maybe age 6 and over would be better. My daughter LOVES books but looses interest very quickly. We have yet to finish the book.
