From Library Journal
This fun-filled book will get the entire family working together to prepare for special celebrations. Hetzer organizes the book into four categories of parties: for small children, for older children, for preteens, and family events. Each party receives several pages of carefully written directions, presented so that young children can do the reading. Line drawings illustrate the text. Topics include theme parties, such as a fairy-tale party for baby's first birthday. Directions are included for making all kinds of clever decorations, noise makers, invitations, and refreshments. Teachers as well as parents who do volunteer work with children will find this book a treasury of quick and easy ways to create perfectly fabulous parties. For most public libraries.

From Booklist
Many of these parties for preschoolers follow tried-and-true patterns; still, one more resource for games and decorations is always welcome, to which anyone trapped with a small enclave of young children in festive spirits can attest. Hetzer's party-planning tips take on new value with her suggestions for parties for older children (ages 10-12) and particularly for family celebrations, from New Year's Eve to confirmation day.
