网友对Eloise at Christmastime的评论
I have fond memories of reading Eloise books as a young person and got this book to add to our Christmas Eve fun. It did not disappoint, and we had a delightful time listening to the CD of the story read by Bernadette Peters, which comes with the book. While listening to the CD, it was fun to follow along with the book and see all the marvelous ilustrations by Hilary Knight. It brought back so many memories and made me feel like a child again. Eloise, though rather an unusual child with a very unusual life who can be rather annoying to adults at times, has goodness in her heart. She is also hilarious. We had so much fun with this that we decided to keep the book and read it again next year when holiday time comes along. Eloise at Christmastime: Book & CD
One of my Christmas treats to myself this year was sitting down after a holiday visit to Manhattan to spend some quality time with Eloise, the little girl who lives at the Plaza with her Nanny and her pets. I had previously read all the other Eloise books but this one, and generally like the little scamp. If ever there was a holiday made for Eloise, who loves to dress up in sparkly jingly costumes, crash parties, and get presents, it was Christmastime in mid-20th century New York.
"Eloise at Christmastime" has a very simple and fairly short storyline focusing on Eloise and Nanny's preparations for celebrating Christmas at home on top of the Plaza. In that regard, it's more similar to "Eloise Takes a Bawth" than the earlier Eloise books that were more complicated. "Eloise at Christmastime," which is not only short but is told in rhyme, might thus be a better way to introduce younger children to the "Eloise" series. Despite Eloise's unconventional lifestyle, her energetic preparations and mad dashes around the Plaza in her pre-Christmas excitement are pretty universal to all kids who can't wait for Christmas to hurry up and arrive. One nice touch is that, far from being a greedy little girl, she seems to get just as much joy out of giving presents to all of her family and friends as she does about receiving them, even though her ideas about what constitutes a good gift can be kind of weird sometimes (again, typical of childhood thinking).
As with most of the Eloise books, Hilary Knight's illustrations are the star of the production and really make this relatively simple story pop off the page. The main reason why I did not give five stars is that I understand some illustrations were removed or reduced in size to make room for new ones in the re-released edition. While getting new illustrations is a nice thing, I would prefer they not be added at the cost of getting rid of the old.
Also, I was a bit sorry Eloise's entire Christmas story took place within the Plaza (although I can certainly understand Nanny wanting to keep her there as she is enough of a handful without releasing her on the rest of Manhattan). Just think if Kay Thompson had let her heroine go out and explore the Christmas windows, the Radio City annual Christmas show, the Macy's Christmas parade, visiting Santa...but I will just have to picture those happenings in my imagination, unfortunately!
Eloise at Christmastime- 6 year old Eloise the precocious troublemaker is back to celebrate the Christmas season in a way only Eloise can. With illustrations that you really can't see all of the first time you read the story, you'll enjoy re-reading this and noticing things you missed before.
I had the original "Eloise at Christmastime" and there are a few subtle changes in this printing. First of all there are 4 wonderful new pictures by Mr. Knight but they took out one of my favorites, Eloise on the couch with Nanny in front of the fire. Some of the pictures have been reduced to put another picture on the page. Lastly the floor plan of the Plaza folded out in the original printing. Those are the differences that collectors will be happy about.
I am so happy that my nieces and nephew will be able to finally have a copy of "Eloise at Christmastime" of their very own and they will be able to pass it on to their children. Hang two-legged Christmas stockings and read this book almost every night before Christmas.
It's timeless! I just bought it for a six year old girl who enjoys it as much as I did when I was six
