Eloise in moscow5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() The foldout of the Kremlin is not to be missed. ![]() Knight's illustrations are impeccable as always. Eloise speaks Russian, she explores, she visits the ballet, she disguises herself and spies on other guests at the hotel and so on! All of her adventures made my four year old giggle with delight. The children, although they won't be able to understand a lot of the context of the story, will enjoy the antics of Miss Eloise. ![]() For adults, this is a great read and provides a wonderful commentary on the the Soviet Union during the Cold War. First published in 1959, this book was written after Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight's three week stay in Moscow. "Eloise in Moscow" is, of course, a fun read as are all Eloise books!
