Eloise

Her character feels so lively and timeless, making me wonder what sparked her personality and love for humor. Did Thompson draw from her own childhood or imagination?

Her curiosity and antics remind me of being a kid in a big city. It makes me wonder if readers of all ages see a little of their own childhood in her.

Her fearless curiosity and humor seem to encourage kids to explore and ask questions. Do you think the book helps children feel braver or more imaginative?
