Summary: Happy Birthday
Review: The book had 25 theme parties,ranging from "Old McDonald's Farm" to "Bon Appetit". Each had low cost ideas for invitations, activities and refreshments. Many of the activities were a little contrived and a lot were reworkings of familiar games like "Pin the Bow on the Teddy".The cakes suggested were shapes related to the theme. Most were cute and fairly simple, but a top hat was made from 4 layers of cake. Not very practical for most children's appetites. This book was a good place to start planning a party. It had good genral party giving tips and the themes will be fun. Readers can add their own ideas to make a party their children will love.

Summary: Great ideas for do- it- yourself parties
Review: This book is organized according to different party themes that children will like, such as Wizard of Oz, Mother Goose and All Aboard. Within each party, the author gives you multiple creative ideas for creating your own invitations, decorations, activites and games, refreshments, cake decorating and party favors. The author also tells you how to draw the children into the party theme and keep them busy and interested. This book is great for someone who wants to make an old fashioned at-home party for their child. The author's ideas are easy to put to use. I made a Globe Trotting party for my 9 year old son...it was a big hit! This book will serve as a handy reference for many years of birthdays.
