Kids' parties can be a parent's worst nightmare. The mere thought of entertaining not only your own children, but others as well, can be somewhat daunting. The major goal of any party is to have fun, and that means everybody: the guests, the birthday boy or girl, and even the parents.

Fun Parties for Fun Kids is a book that not only supplies the blueprints for sixteen different themed parties, but also offers a myriad of hints that will help keep parents' sanity intact throughout the entire process.

This book offers alternatives to the basement party room of the local fast food chain, and all it requires is a little planning and a lot of imagination. Everything from parades, chef-for-a-day parties, superhero conventions, and princess parties to teddy bear picnics and scavenger hunts are laid out here for busy parents to use as guides. Robin Graham leads parents through the initial preparations to the day of the event and even the planning of the loot bags!
