Review

Julia attempts to teach her little brother how to throw a proper tea party. We start with washing up and dressing fancy, and move on to definitely NOT inviting the neighbor boys. But they show up anyway, and Julia is losing control of her tea party. Eventually she loses it and has to start over with a different tact--inviting everyone and allowing them to do things you don't typically do at a tea party. This would be a great story to teach patience, particularly to older siblings.

Overall Book Score: very good
