Hit of the Party has been reviewed as "the best book on the market for planning and giving children's theme birthday parties" by the American Library Association's Booklist, Better Homes and Gardens, Childsplay Magazine, Pittsburgh Parent, Iowa Parent & Family, San Jose Mercury News, and more. (See some of these reviews below.) With 385 pages, this 8 1/2" x 11" softcover handbook is the most comprehensive book available, with hundreds of photocopy projects to make professional-quality party invitations, decorations, theme birthday cakes, costumes, and "kid-proof crafts." The photocopy projects make this book unique. Simply photocopy the patterns and illustrations for all the invitations, decorations, costumes, crafts, theme birthday cakes and games directly from the book. You are ready to make memories in minutes! Hit of the Party is a valuable resource for parents who want to give their children memorable birthday parties without spending a lot of time or money, or whenever the need arises--like on a rainy day--when there's "nothing to do." The book can also be used by teachers and librarians who want an easy-to-make craft, costume, or decoration to enhance their "Reading Appreciation" programs.
