Reviews

Grade 1-6-Napier brews up a potful of variations on the tea party, from the English to the Southern belle, the T-shirt (with marbleized muffins), the Japanese, and even one with a golf motif. Each section includes some background on the theme, tips on wardrobe and table settings, a recipe and an activity or craft, and a menu. Many of the ideas are easily adapted to non-tea parties, and the recipes, while not really difficult, would benefit from adult supervision. The colorful pages are filled with decorative borders, spot illustrations, and photographs of smiling female party planners and partyers. The traditional tea party is presented in more depth in Lindsey Tate's Teatime with Emma Buttersnap (Holt, 1998). This very taste-tea concoction of ideas will be popular with girls, moms, scout leaders, teachers, and anyone with an inner "little girl."-Joyce Adams Burner, Hillcrest Library, Prairie Village, KS
