5.0 out of 5 stars BEST BOOK ON SLUMBER PARTIES!, December 6, 2004

This review is from: Slumber Parties (Paperback)

This book was the best book I have ever read on slumber parties. With 25 different ideas, you are bound to find at least a couple that suit your daughter's needs. Also, some of these parties can apply to boys, like the circus party and sorcerer's magic party. Each party idea has ideas for invitations, movies (with the ratings) to watch, what people should bring, decorations, games, activites, ideas for prizes and favors, refreshments, and recipes. They also give you a 3 page introduction in the beginning of the book, which is very helpful when you are planning a sleepover. Here are the ideas listed in the book. I hope you buy this book, because it's very useful, and I hope that your slumber parties are filled with fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for anyone with daughters, October 19, 2001

This review is from: Slumber Parties (Paperback)

Fun, practical tips and ideas for girls' parties -- any kind, not just slumber parties. The book is divided into themes, which include suggestions for invitations, decorations, food, games, etc. My daughters *love* the book, and we use it frequently. But wait -- you're wasting your time reading this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just for Sleepovers!, June 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Slumber Parties (Paperback)

This is an amazing book that is filled with many great ideas. Even though it is geared towards sleepover parties, it has so many wonderful and creative ideas that can be used at any child's birthday party. The sleepover themes gave me many great ideas; I never realized that a sleepover party could be so much more, such as a glamour salon or a rock studio! This is definately a great book if you are planning a sleepover party and are looking for ideas to make your party a true success.
