My daughter is in first grade and she is having some trouble with learning to read. This series have been perfect for her. They are fun and engaging stories with well drawn pictures; the text is simple but introduces new vocabulary. We love all of the Eloise Ready-To-Read books.

My daughter loves, loves, loves her Eloise ready to read books! They make reading fun.

My daughter and I both love Kay Thompson's precocious Eloise.

We were both delighted when the Ready to Read series introduced the first Eloise readers,

"Eloise Has a Lesson and Eloise Bakes a Cake."

The stories are fashioned in the true Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight style capturing Eloise at her best.

The story is written so a 5-6 year old can read it alone or with a parents help if necessary.

If you love the classic Eloise stories then you will absolutely love the Eloise Ready to Read series!

This is a darling little book, but the description is very misleading. The age indicated is that it's appropriate for 4-8 year olds. My daughter is 5 and breezed through this in about 2 minutes. I can't imagine that an 8 year old would get ANY enjoyment out of this book! I only gave it three stars for the "cute factor". I'd say it would be good for 4 year olds, but no older than that.

...in this book, Eloise is a spoiled brat who mistreats the help. My husband says she's Paris Hilton as a child!

I don't like to be so negative about a children's book, but I really feel this one has very poor values. Poor Eloise is basically reared by hired help (parents are nowhere in sight). She is defiant and destructive through the whole story, yet gets no consequences at all. Nanny gives her what can only be described as a put-down at the end ("you will never be a cook"), but Eloise is not bothered since her money means she needs no personal skills! Are these the sorts of lessons we want for kids? Though my two year old liked this book, I lost it "accidentally on purpose".
