From Pittsburgh Parent (Beth A. Lawry) This book is still one of the best resources on party giving that I've seen. Hit of the Party is a well-organized and comprehensive party planner for children ages 1-10. I particularly liked the outline format. Headings are clear and let you skim through to find the sections you want. The introduction is well thought out and includes extremely helpful tips. Individual chapters include complete plans for 12 theme parties ranging from pirates to fairy tales, safaris to space. Four appendices in the back compile recipes, cake tips, crafts and games. Vangsgard also gets high marks for including photocopy-able lists and artwork, age ranges for activities and crafts and preparation times.
"Hit of the Party" is a must for parents who want to host children's birthday parties in their own homes. Complete with reproducable invitations, decorations and party favors, Vangsard's book makes it easy to have a no-fail birthday party. More ideas are included than could possibly be done in a regular party time frame, so one is never short on ideas for what to do. Party themes include: space party, jungle party, teddy bear picnic, magician party and many more. With this book one is more than equipped to have a party that kids love while keeping costs way down.
This is a wonderful book that has all you need for a typical kid's party. I like the paterns that are included. Take them to a copier, add color paper and you are done! I highly recommend this book to anyone who will be having a kid's party soon!
I very rarely write reviews, but this book is so great that I felt it deserved it. So many ideas that I never even thought of and step by step ways to incorporate them into the party. I took this out of the library but definitely want to buy it so I always have it on hand. This book also has a lot of fun recipes and games that don't have to wait for a birthday party.Very highly recommended
I love this book! It came quickly and was in Great shape! I had used this years ago from our library system. Our library no longer carries it, and I was happy to find it to buy. It has wonderful ideas, complete instructions from invites to games plus decorations.It includes how to make your own theme stickers, with house hold products and computer, take home treats and cake ideas!
I purchased several party planning books for my son's 4th birthday. This book was by far the best. There are great ideas, recipes, games, projects, treats, you name it, this book has it. It does not have a bunch of dressed up glossy pictures. It does have lots of photo copy pages for invites, games and decorations. The suggestions cover a wide range of ages as well.
