Eloise has been delighting readers for decades—though she’s still not a day over six! Even bath time is an adventure for Eloise in this charming and hilarious picture book!

Eloise is a very special little girl who lives at The Plaza Hotel in New York City. When a guest is expected for tea, Nanny insists Eloise take a bawth on the dub dub double! But bathing in a hotel is no easy feat—there are so many taps and faucets, oh my Lord, and you can’t forget the special bawth song!

As Eloise’s imagination takes over and she rides on a jet ski, sails with pirates, and more—her tub overflows! What will happen when the Plaza is all wet?

Here’s the thing: Whether you are just about to fall in love with Eloise or have already baked her a cake, you ought to have this book. (Charge it please and thank you very much.)

This hijinks-filled book features fold-out pages in two memorable scenes!

Kay Thompson (1909–1998) was a singer, dancer, vocal arranger, and coach of many MGM musicals in the 1940s. The Eloise character grew out of the voice of a precocious six-year-old that Miss Thompson put on to amuse her friends. Collaborating with Hilary Knight on what was an immediate bestseller, Kay Thompson became a literary sensation when Eloise was published in 1955. The book has sold more than two million copies to date. Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight created four more Eloise books, Eloise in Paris, Eloise at Christmas, Eloise in Moscow, and Eloise Takes a Bawth.

Hilary Knight, son of artist-writers Clayton Knight and Katharine Sturges, was educated at the Art Students League, where he studied with Reginald Marsh. Besides the Eloise books, Hilary Knight has illustrated more than fifty books for children, six of which he wrote himself. He lives and works in New York City, not far from The Plaza Hotel.
