Book Review... Best Party Book Ever!

I recently had the chance to review The Best Party Book Ever, from the editors of FaithGirlz! and Girls' Life magazine.  Or should I say, I tried to take the time to review it, but my 9-year old daughter kept snatching it from me.  She absolutely loved this book and will be referencing it quite often in the future, I think.

With all sorts of creative ideas for themed parties, seasonal parties, or "just because" parties, this is the best party idea book I've seen for girls.  The illustrations are stunning, yet always portray modesty and beautiful, well designed art.  Along with ideas for games, recipes, decorations, and crafts, this book also focuses on the work that goes into the party, giving girls ideas on being a good hostess, finding their party style, and even dealing with friendship issues that may come up and party "blunders" they may have to deal with.  I particularly loved this part of the book, as this helps girls realize that there is more to a party than the actual events and gives them insight into these sometimes delicate issues that can occur within friendships and during parties.  Also included in the book are checklists and tips to guide readers.

I'm so glad I stumbled on this book and was able to review it, and like I said before, I know it's one we will reference repeatedly in the future.  I highly recommend it for moms of upper elementary/preteen girls.
