New Releases by Kay Thompson

Ooooooooooo, Eloise absolutely loves Christmas! Lift the flaps on every scene and watch Eloise as she visits a store and zooms through the toy department, gets spritzed with perfume, carols through the streets, trims everything in her Plaza Hotel suite, and much more! Now this is a Christmas to remember!

Eloise discovers the Plaza Hotel''s Lost and Found and decides to make it her secret play room.

When snow starts falling in New York City, Eloise skips breakfast to rush out to Central Park to build a snowman.

Eloise gets an unexpected opportunity to march down the aisle when a flower girl goes missing during a wedding ceremony being held at The Plaza. Simultaneous.

Hello Room Sevice this is me ELOISE we''re going to Paris France goodbye And so, our favourite enfant terrible (sporting her foreign identification travel tag) says au revoir to the Plaza and embarks with Nanny and Weenie on a Parisian adventure which is rawther extraordinaire. While whizzing through the streets, sights, and shops of Paris, Eloise comes to a few important conclusions about life avec les francais. Mainly, that ''you cawn''t cawn''t cawn''t get a good cup of tea... so you have to have champagne with a peach in it'' and that ''French bread makes very good skis''. Which pretty much sums it up. She also builds up an impressive collection of champagne corks.

Ooooooooooo, dressing up is so much fun!

Here you will find everything you need to know about ELOISE. In the front of this book we have printed the original ELOISE story and pictures, and in the back of it there are sketches and stories by Mr Hilary Knight (the artist) and photographs of Miss Kay Thompson when she was young and fabulous RAWTHER like Eloise and absolutely loads of information that you simply cawn''t cawn''t cawn''t get anywhere else.

It''s bath time for Eloise in this picture book starring everyone''s favorite precocious Plaza Hotel resident. ELOISE has been celebrated at the PLAZA, in PARIS, at CHRISTMASTIME, in MOSCOW. Now ELOISE takes a plunge in the BAWTH.

While Nanny dear unsuspectingly watches her soap opera, and Mr Salomone, the Plaza''s manager, prepares for the charity event of the year, a Masked Venetian Ball, Eloise takes a bawth. She bolts the bathroom door with a backbrush and turns on every faucet and tap in sight and begins her willful water mischief in a glamorous fantasy bath world complete with Skipperdee and Weenie to boot. SLAWSH! The Plaza has flooded! The Grand Ball Room is in pandemonium! Who? Who? Who is the culprit? Mr Salomone and the Plaza head engineer follow the flow of water and discover that the trouble began with a certain precocious little girl up on the very top floor - none other than our very own favourite Eloise, who of course, as only she can, manages to turn the catastrophe into a fantastic sensation and be crowned Little mermaid of the Masked Venntian Ball. Belissimo!

The issues explored in The Feminist Classroom are as timely and controversial today as they were when the book first appeared six years ago. This expanded edition offers new material that rereads and updates previous chapters, including a major new chapter on the role of race. The authors offer specific new classroom examples of how assumptions of privilege, specifically the workings of unacknowledged whiteness, shape classroom discourses. This edition also goes beyond the classroom, to examine the present context of American higher education. Drawing on in-depth interviews and using the actual words of students and teachers, the authors take the reader into classrooms at six colleges and universities - Lewis and Clark College, Wheaton College, the University of Arizona, Towson State University, Spelman College, and San Francisco State University. The result is an intimate view of the pedagogical approaches of seventeen feminist college professors. Feminist scholars have demonstrated that American higher education has long represented a white, male, privileged minority. The professors here bring together the twin upheavals that have challenged this tradition: namely a rapidly changing student body and the more inclusive knowledge of feminist and multicultural scholarship. They uncover the voices, concerns and experiences of groups hitherto marginalized in higher education: women, people of color and working class students. Through concrete examples of classroom practice, the work of these professors challenge the traditional split between knowledge and pedagogy that has long characterized higher education.

Eloïse, c''est moi ! J''ai six ans et j''habite au Plaza, un grand hôtel de New-York. Je suis une vraie calamité, paraît-il. C''est ce que dit le directeur de l''hôtel. Mais moi, je dis que dans la vie, on n''a pas le droit de s''ennuyer et, croyez-moi, on ne s''ennuie pas, au Plaza : entre les promenades en ascenseur, les réceptions mondaines et les tempêtes dans la salle de bains, je suis très occupée...

Getting bored is not allowed, you can always put a rubber band on the end of your nose, pretend you are an orphan or spend most of the day on the telephone. And always remember the magic words: Charge it please A pocket-sized treat full of rawther fine hints should you ever be a six-year old in New York''s Plaza Hotel.

Demain, c''est Noël, et Moi, Eloïse, je suis bien décidée à mettre un peu de joie dans les couloirs de l''hôtel Plaza !
