“[An] excellent four-book audio collection about the girl who lives at the Plaza Hotel….If Eloise fans want to share this classic with their children and enjoy it again themselves, this production is the way to go. The incomparable Bernadette Peters consistently expresses the singular voice of Eloise—with its curious mix of pseudosophistication and youthful verve. Whether she’s affecting a French accent or singing a tuneless duet with her nanny, Eloise’s energy and activity level can sometimes be maddening. Musical interludes are a wonderful accompaniment; for example, ‘The Flight of the Bumblebee’ aids in describing her busy flights up and down elevators. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

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 Thompson put on to amuse her friends. Collaborating with Hilary Knight on what was an immediate bestseller, the author 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.
