I finished the reply to you and then went downstairs to find my old Eloise book and pour through it for another hour! It's in terrible shape and some of the pages are taped in place. The cover certainly is. I eventually had to go buy a new copy.

There's an update or two, also, which I found hilarious! One of the comments that repeats, along with "a ______ makes a very good hat," there's one about "here's what he(she) likes: _________. Here's what I like: ________." In my original version from 1959, it was "here's what I like: Grass." But the modern-day update has changed that to "here's what I like: Dandelions." ROFL!!!!!

To you as well vt_native Nov 2013 #1
