1.0 out of 5 stars Very Confusing, April 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Birthday Parties for Kids! Creative Party Ideas Your Kids and Their Friends Will Love (Paperback)

There are so many party books available, and I have quite a few. This is my least favorite of the ones I've seen or own. It's very confusing and has to refer to the other chapters too many times.

3.0 out of 5 stars I love to plan my son's birthday with creative books, April 25, 2000

This review is from: Birthday Parties for Kids! Creative Party Ideas Your Kids and Their Friends Will Love (Paperback)

This book lacked things like putting the page number so can quickly find the party theme. So you page through until you find it. Once I got there it had the basic things you or I would come up with. Then they go on to says invitations, decorations, games, activities, food and favors but again then you have to search in other places to find each topic. No pictures!

However once you get to Invites there are 8 different ideas. Same goes for decorations, games, activities, food and favors.

Within each section there are some really cute ideas, recipes on how-to.

Over all the book is helpful and cute ideas and themes, just not put together well.
