5.0 out of 5 stars The American Girls Party Book, July 31, 2000

By	celeste murphy (lakeport, ca USA) - See all my reviews

The American Girls Party book offers 18 different theme party plans that accompany the dolls and books made by the same company. "Since the earliest days of America, American girls have found lots of ways to celebrate--picnics, dances, barn raisings, fairs, teas, and victory shows." The authors teach children how to plan ahead for their special theme party.

This book offers wholesome ideas for celebrations; from home-made party invitations (with patterns) to recipes for special easy to prepare dishes, to timeless party games, musical suggestions, and decorating ideas. The book is replete with elegantly laid out color photos of real American girls and the party fixings, celebrating all the joy life offers. I'm sure your little girls will enjoy this book as much as mine do. It teaches children that they have the ability to create something wonderful and share their creation with others. A feel good book!

I bought this book in preparation for my daughter's American Girl themed birthday party. It was great! It had simple recipes, craft ideas, party activities... and the instructions were easy to follow. We had a lot of fun.
