Eloise - Eloise Goes To School



Good Message
My four year old granddaughter wanted to watch this DVD over and over and over and over when she stayed with us for four days. Personally, I was about ready to puke if I had to watch it one more time....BUT, it is a good film for the preschool age group. It's just the right length to hold their attention, but not so long that they vegetate in front of the TV for a large portion of the day. I used it as a reward for good behavior taking a bath and getting teeth brushed before bed. It was a perfect way to get her wound down and ready to sleep. It has a good message about being happy with what we have going; because even though the grass looks greener on the other side, it usually isn't. Highly recommend and I'm on-line right now to buy 2 or 3 more Eloise movies.

Perfect attention grabber especially for the little girl that steals your heart
This found a happy home in our collection of DVD's for our grandchildren. Our 2 grand-daughters were never once bored yet wanted for there to be more to the story once the end was reached. I would encourage anyone interested to give Eloise a try!!!

Eloise is off to school!
My 4.5 year-old has only recently started enjoying the animated show centered on precocious 6-year-old Eloise. In "Eloise Goes to School", Eloise's tutor quits and nanny makes arrangements for Eloise to attend the snooty Hawthorne school. There, Eloise finds herself feeling awkward and tries hard to fit in but has to face a myriad of problems such as an overly strict teacher, bullies etc. In her signature indomitable way, Eloise tries to sort these problems out, but is left pondering whether the school is really a right fit for her?

The Eloise stories are great fun for young girls, and my little girl has become a fan. Sometimes caution does need to be exercised when viewing this with younger children as Eloise's manner may come across as almost bratty, though she is mostly just verbally and emotionally advanced for her age and very expressive. On the whole, the DVDs are enjoyable and great fun!
