Eloise, a spunky six year-old who lives at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, is as delightful on screen as she is in her books. In Eloise in Springtime, Eloise's dear nanny takes a personal vacation, leaving Eloise in the care of a 22 year-old girl named Nicole. Eloise deals with some difficult emotions, such as jealousy and guilt, but she also learns what it means to be a true friend, how to take responsibility for her actions, and she even learns a little about love. Bonus features available on the DVD include coloring pages and a Spanish language feature.

As always, there are many lessons to be learned from Eloise.  For instance, she is initially very excited about how hip and cool her temporary young nanny is, however, once Nicole starts getting more attention from Eloise's favorite people (her pets and her friend, Bill, the bellhop) she begins experiencing jealousy. She decides to lie to Nicole about Bill, but her lie ends up hurting everyone involved.  Eloise realizes she has made a mistake and feels horribly guilty. Upon returning, Nanny helps Eloise decide that the best way to address the problem she's caused is to apologize face-to-face to those she hurt and tell the whole truth. These are wonderful lessons to stress to your little one, as these are feelings everyone can relate to. It's important to show your child that not telling the truth will cause more damage, and that jealousy is a normal but manageable behavior.
 
My niece Emily first watched this DVD when she was four years old.  She thought the 'Welcome to Springtime' Party that Eloise's temporary nanny, Nicole, threw looked "boring, because there were too many adults and not enough kids." I asked Emily what she liked best about the movie, and her response was, "Nicole is like a really cool big sister. That is what I'm going to be too."
