I actually like Eloise, for chrissakes.


Why? It's been at least 20 years since I've read that book, so I don't remember it that well.


The illustrAtions are weird. Most of the kids are white

Good night Darth Vader and that whole series. I am glad the cartoonist thought of a shtick, but I find them super super annoying. Unfortunately we got a couple as a gift and 3 year old asked for them every night for months. Ugh.

Confession: I hate lol. I just do. Let me retry.

Then why are they still in the library? Better?
