New Releases by Kay Thompson

Following the success of last year's calendar, based on the beloved children's classic, this calendar brings to life the unstoppable six-year-old in all her mischievous splendor. This calendar is the only Eloise wall calendar available. Originally published in the 1950s, all four Eloise books have been re-issued: The Absolutely Essential Eloise, a special tribute edition, which came out to rave reviews, Eloise in Paris in May 1999, Eloise at Christmastime in October 1999 and Eloise in Moscow in March 2000. These plus the new July 2000 title Eloise's Guide To Life, based on the original books, made both the New York Times and Publishers' Weekly bestseller lists. Includes 12 beautiful and original illustrations by Hilary Knight. The calendar also includes a special Eloise poster.

Yes
Here she is at Christmastime
Complete with tinsel and holly
Singing fa la la la lolly
And over the roar of the jingle bells
You can hear hear hear her say
It's absolutely Christmas
But I don't mind a bit
I give everyone a present
For that's the thing of it
So when it's everly Christmastime
And you're under your Christmas trees
Simply tinkle a bell and have a trinkle
And remember
Me
Eloise
