5.0 out of 5 stars
If you want a memorable party, this is the book for you.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Penny Whistle Birthday Party Book (Paperback)
This book is an excellent resource for parents who want to give their child a creative and different party.For each party, the authors give interesting handmade card ideas, decorations, games and food. All parties are centered aroud a creative and fun theme. I have used this book for several years creating memorable parties for my daughter. I have done the parties straight from the book or I have modified them to suit my child's tastes and our situation.It is also easy to mix and match different activities, food, etc. and create your own party idea. An added bonus, many of the activities can be adapted to class parties for room moms who need some help!

A busy mother's best friend!,
This review is from: Penny Whistle Birthday Party Book (Paperback)
This book has a number of wonderfully creative ideas for birthday parties for children including not only party themes, but activities, party favor ideas and even party-throwing guidelines to follow! What a relief to know that as busy mothers and fathers, we won't have to "reinvent the wheel" to make our kids' parties a smashing success!

This review is from: Penny Whistle Birthday Party Book (Paperback)
This book is ridiculous. Nothing in here is affordable!When I read the other reviews, I assumed that everyone here must have a fortune to spend on their children's birthday parties. I'm on a tight budget and could never afford the lavish parties suggested in this book. Don't waste your money on this book--check it out from the library. It has a few good game ideas, that's about it.
