A busy day at the Plaza

Eloise introduces the Plaza Hotel as both her home and a world of familiar faces, from the Desk Clerk to Nanny. The picture-book tour takes in her packed schedule: skating through the halls, attending weddings, and lending a hand to hotel staff. The hotel setting gives the book a clear organizing thread, while Eloise’s insistence that there is no room for boredom shapes its comic premise. At 68 pages, this first picture book in the series centers on a young character who treats the hotel as a place to explore and take part in everyday activity.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8, the listed age group for the book
  • Young readers who enjoy humorous stories about lively characters and hotel settings
  • Families seeking a picture book built around a tour of a New York City hotel

Book overview

Part of the series that inspired the upcoming live-action Netflix movie starring Mae Schenk and Ryan Reynolds and directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino!

Eloise has been delighting readers for decades--though she's still not a day over six! In her first-ever picture book, precocious Eloise gives a tour of her home--The Plaza Hotel--and introduces its many residents.

Eloise is a very special little girl who lives at The Plaza Hotel in New York City. She has the run of the place and knows absolutely everyone, from the Desk Clerk to the Bell Captain. The very best person in the hotel is Nanny.

Oh my Lord, Eloise has a very busy schedule, from slomping down the hall in her skates to attending weddings in the White and Gold Room to helping the day maid, the busboys, and the waiters. Above all else, being bored is not allowed!

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.)
