This review is from: That Was the Best Party Ever! How to Give Birthday Parties Kids Will Never Forget (Paperback)

This book is organized by age, and then by theme -- as an early childhood educator, her observations on what a one, two, three, four or five year old will like and put up with are absolutely right on! Wish I'd had this book to plan my childs first three birthday parties. She has great age appropriate activities, as well as organizing checklists.

This review is from: That Was the Best Party Ever! How to Give Birthday Parties Kids Will Never Forget (Paperback)

This book should be called "This is the Best Children's Party Book Ever!" It has great ideas, but unlike most party books it tells you how to accomplish everything and make it a learning experience for your child and his or her friends. I loved it and would reccomend this book to anyone.
