Grandma Prize Winner

I actually bought this book for my pre-school granddaughter, but I suspect my daughter will be even more pleased with it. It's a challenge for Moms of dedicated Princesses, to change up party themes over the years without the same old Disney favorites (adorable, yes, but no surprises there...). This book brings a global scope to our girls, with detailed instructions for refreshments, activities and costumes/props for 8 different princess-themed parties from a U.S. cowgirl to China to Africa to Fairyland and others. I like my granddaughter learning a bit about other countries and their customs. Her Mom will like the creative ideas to make terrific parties. But my granddaughter will like the FUN-FUN-FUN !

Creating that special party

Reviewed by Irene Watson for Reader Views (12/09) What little girl doesn't dream of being a princess? None that I know of and one way to help her feel like a princess is allow her to have a "tea." It will be fun creating the party with her but the best part will be watching the transformation that happens when she and her friends change into princesses. "Princess Tea" gives suggestions on creating that special party with themes, menu suggestions and decorations. Of course the result from making any of the recipes will transform anyone that will even get a slight nibble. The recipes are easy and fun. And, I doubt there is anything that wouldn't delight any little girl. I loved the "Hot Chocolate Chai." I am a Chai drinker and was pleasantly surprised of the taste when adding cocoa to it. I also tried the "bbq cups" made from refrigerated prepared biscuits, group beef, smoked barbeque sauce and a little cheese - adorable, and needless to say, tasty. I'm really impressed with "Princess Tea" by Janeen A. Sarlin. She understands what little girls like, but most of all she understands that Moms or Grandmas need simple, fun, ideas. And, that's exactly what you get in this book.

A perfect present for the little girls in your life!

Each of our granddaughters cannot wait to select the perfect tea party from this book for their next birthday party. Whether it be an Indian, African, Fiesta, Cowgirl or Fairy Princess tea, we will all have a wonderful time! And the line dancing instructions are invaluable.

Princess Tea

A great book for ideas to be used for entertaining girls. Actually for a range of ages. A delightful book and should be a part of your library for girls having a tea party - many clever ideas. The illustrations and pictures are also well done.
