From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6-A delightful collection of party ideas, accompanied by colorful, whimsical artwork. Neatly and attractively arranged, the suggested themes include "Princess," "Mad Hatter," "Teddy Bears' Picnic," "Moms and Daughters," "Garden," "Literary," and "Pajama Breakfast" tea parties. All the steps and materials needed for a successful event are addressed: invitations, decorations (outdoor and indoor), place cards, refreshments, crafts, games, and party favors. Recipes are kid friendly, easy to prepare, and well suited to the themes. Along with Emilie Barnes's Let's Have a Tea Party (Harvest, 1997), Tanya Napier's The Totally Tea-rific Tea Party Book (Barron's, 2002), and Lindsey Tate's Teatime with Emma Buttersnap (Holt, 1998), Dunnewind'stitle is a cheerful, well-written and illustrated book for children and parents to share or for library programming.
