Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Grade 2-5-Ross, a veteran author of theme and holiday craft books, has come to the rescue of children and parents short on money but long on creativity. This do-it-yourself guide includes ideas and instructions for invitations, hats, decorations, cakes, favors, and games. Themes include outer space, rainbows, bugs, monsters, artists, dinosaurs, puzzles, firefighters, and Hawaii. The ideas, particularly the hats, will appeal to very young children, but they will need adult help. The text, however, is written for older children who have probably outgrown "Three Bears," "Puppet," "Dinosaur" or "Frog" parties. Aside from this discrepancy, the book is appealing. The illustrations are colorful and plentiful. The word "best" in the title may be a tad ambitious, but this is still a decent purchase to fill an often-requested need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, December 25, 1999

This review is from: Best Birthday Parties Ever! (Library Binding)

This is a great book. I only got it yesterday, but it has lots of wonderful ideas. Although this is really a kids do it yourself book, it can also be used by parents, or party planners like myself. It has a pile of themes, and each one includes invitations party hats, crafts decoration, favor and games. Most of the party hats, favors and games are those you can make from paper and other things around the house. Most of the crafts can be used as games, and many can also be used as favors. I always like Kathy Ross's books, but this one was GREAT!

I thought that this book was great. We checked it out from the library and my six year old son has chosen the teddy bear party. He was not too thrilled with the bowls of porage cakes, but all the other ideas are great and really get the kids involved.
