If Eloise wrote the book on style, then this is the crib sheet. Here collected in one Weenie volume, are all the bons mots our heroine lives by. How to Dress? "The first thing you have to do is put your gloves." How to Behave? "Sometimes I throw a temper fit. But not often." The words of Kay Thompson's knowingly selected from the four classic Eloise books. The pictures are pure Hilary Knight. (As a special treat, Mr. Knight has created six new drawings of Eloise, which will make their debut in this volume.) And of course there is a fresh eye-catching new jacket to top it all off. Here is the thing of it: self-help only lasts so long. But Eloise is forever.
