Unlike the other Eloise books, Bawth is not simply a precocious child's antics and musings. "Bawth has something of a story line," says Knight. "It's an event that takes place and is carried through an entire day." As Eloise lies in the tub, we get a tour of her aquatic fantasies--captaining a pirate ship, water-skiing with her pet turtle--while she accidentally floods the entire hotel on the night of the lavish Venetian Masked Ball...

Ice cream-making, he says, boils down to two things: measurement and heavy lifting. This part is more on the side of hard labor.

For starters, each of the many baths boasts different mineral infusions for a variety of benefits. There are Jacuzzis, outdoor baths, aromatherapy saunas, massage rooms, facialists, darkened resting rooms, even a vast tatami-mat eatery complete with sequin-clad balladeer. Bathers lounge all day in pajamas provided...
