We bought this as a first birthday present for our niece. My sister tells me she loves being read too and looking at the pictures in the book. Pair this with an age appropriate tea set and you have the perfect gift for any little girl.

My Very First Tea Party

The book was very small, measuring about 5"x5", and that didn't hold the interest of my three-year-old granddaughter. Also, the book came to me damaged along the spine of the book. Not a very good buy overall for the money.

However I am not, and therefore was terribly dissapointed to find a blessing to God at the end of the book. Wish it had mentioned that in the description or at least shown that page in the "look inside" link. Would have saved me $ and hassle. Just a warning to those that may not practice a form of Christianity. Otherwise it is cute.

My 18-month daughter did not find this book at all interesting. She serves us tea and cookies so I thought by the book's title that it would be fun for her to see and "read" about a tea party. However, the pictures are watercolors (too complicated for a toddler's attention span) and the book does not describe how a "tea party" would normally go about. It puts more enpahsis on lovely dresses than on tea sets and girls having a good play time.

I purchased this for my 3 year old grand daughter and she loved having me read it to her. Encourages imaginative tea parties for grandma's and their grand daughters. We loved it.

Thank You God AND Amazon for selling this little book that mentions "God" in it! :) I will definitely be purchasing this book today. It is nice to give thanks to God...for having our little friends (even if they are dolls!) :) over for tea time, the tea, and whatever yummies are being served up with the tea!

I understand that some people do not want "God" mentioned in children's books (as the one woman has noted in her review)...and would have liked to have known that before making her purchase. The only thing I can recommend is having the parent read the book before allowing their child to read it...as I will throw away any books with magic, fairies, dragons, unicorns, and whatever else I don't want my children's minds to meddle with, in the trash!

*Any books that mention "God" are welcome in our home!

God bless you and your 'lil tea party!

And Thanks again Amazon for selling this! :)

The perfect book for your little girl! And I ESPECIALLY LOVE the prayer at the end! As for the other reviewer, the author can add a prayer at the end if that's what she wishes. It's her book to be published. There should be no reason to eliminate God from those who might be offended! If they are offended, don't buy the book!

I also love the etiquette added in! It's so southern and sweet! This book is perfect for those who want their little ladies to grow up graceful!

I purchased this for our three-year-old granddaughter and gave her a tea set also. The book is very simply written; young kids can easily understand it. I would say it's 5-star for 2-3-4 year olds. Might be too simple for older kids.

The colors in the book are bright and vibrant, and my 3 year old loves it. It is small enough that we can take it anywhere, and it doesn't take up too much space in her backpack.

This book is absolutely adorable. I purchased it for my 18 month old neice and plan to buy another for my baby girl too. It is a really nice story with adorable illustrations. Durable and perfect for little hands. What little girl doesn't like a tea party?

This was a Christmas present for my 20 month old little girl from her grandparents. She enjoys playing with it and I know that as she gets older it will get alot of use. It is sturdy, pretty, and appropriate for little girls of different ages.

Purchase a tea cart for our granddaughter & this book. What a special duo.

This book is kind of a throwback to the old days of comfortable, friendly hospitality between friends. It is perfect for all little girls and an excellent way to introduce the finer points of hospitality back into busy lives. It is also a board book, so it is very sturdy and a nice size for little hands. By 16 month old loves it now but I'm sure she will love it even more as she gets older.
