I loved Eloise, for everything she wasn't. She wasn't pretty, she wasn't the model child -- she was a little devil, and I envied her spunk. I grew up in a typical suburban home and wanted to live in the Plaza Hotel. After I brought my daughter Lily home from the hospital, Eloise was the first thing I bought her. She's 7 years old now, and she has all the Eloise books. One Christmas we even took the kids to the Plaza for the weekend.
