The Children's Party Handbook: Fantasy, Food, and Fun - Softcover

The strength of this volume lies in its exhaustive variety of festivities, not in practical advice to parents. "Unforgettable" best describes these 16 birthday, holiday, and theme parties for which instructions for making invitations, games, and decorations are given. Each party has a menu and clever recipes, although the ingredients often will appeal only to more mature tastes. Time estimates seem too short for cooking and art projects, expense is not a serious consideration, age groups are too broad (e.g., 3-7, 5-12) to be useful, and some suggestionssuch as using trash bags for space suits or letting toddlers blow up balloonsare unwise. For large collections only. Christine Bagley, formerly with Scranton P.L., Pa.
