Brilliant story book about what is appropriate behavior and good manners for a child whether hosting a party or as guest. The book covers both scenarios. I have never seen a book for children factually covering a party from sending out invites to finally leaving a party as a guest.
A very nicely written book about throwing a party and being a party guest. It has actually given me a few ideas...because of all the library parties I plan and execute!
I love all the manners...we are so lacking in manners these days!
