Eloise and the Snowman (Ready-to-Read. Level 1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love Eloise, but the real books are too much for my 2 year old. She LOVES this story about Eloise and the snowman, though! The book is short and simple, but the spirit of Eloise is there in full force. It was great preparation (so to speak) for my daughter's first trip to the snow, and she LOVES to hear this story again and again.

Eloise Decorates for Christmas (Ready-to-Read Level 1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My daughter read through all the Eloise Level 1 series of readers a month ago, and we revisited them recently because she told me she missed stories about Eloise! Well, the actual collection of Eloise stories (not the early readers) are still beyond my five-and-a-half year old's reading ability, but these make for great entertainment and revision!
In "Eloise Decorates for Christmas", Eloise gets a bit carried away when she is inspired to extend her decorating "skills" to the rest of the building she lives in. The story captures Eloise's fun-loving nature and the illustrations enhance the text. Typical of level one readers, this book has slightly more challenging vocabulary, e.g. "delivers", "delivering", "decorators", "decorating", and longer sentence structure. Young children who love Eloise and her adventures will adore this series of early readers.

Disneyland Hotel: The Early Years 1954-1988 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is clearly a labor of love--it is filled with photos of the hotel's original construction, its connection to Disneyland by monorail, and the erection of the first and subsequent towers. It details the quiet motel's sporadic but inexorable expansion into a world-class resort, and offers a fascinating glimpse of two unique individuals: Jack Wrather, the Texas oil man turned TV producer who built the hotel at Walt Disney's suggestion, and his actress wife, Bonita Granville. In addition to gathering a great deal of information into a single volume, the book beautifully reproduces an amazing collection of various Disneyland Hotel brochures and other memorabilia. I own nearly every book that touches on Disneyland, and highly recommend this addition to anyone's collection. I particularly appreciate the book's aesthetically-pleasing design.
