Emma Lea's First Tea Party

Emma Lea's First Tea Party is a beautiful book, both in content and illustrations. The children in my third grade classroom loved the book, and enjoyed how Emma Lea's problem got solved. We do a lot of talking about problem-solving of all sorts, and the relationships in Emma Lea's family make this extra special. The wonderful birthday celebration gives examples to kids of ways to give of themselves without having to spend money. Isn't that what it should be all about? This is a great book with many different life lessons to be shared. The illustrations are beautiful and captivating for children, which truly add to the story of a loving family.

Family Tradition and Bonding

Emma Lea's First Tea Party Emma Lea is finally old enough to participate in her grandmother's yearly, birthday tea party. She gets ready, has her hair fixed in a grown-up way and the excitement builds. Emma Lea feels special when she see's the grown up table, set with delicate tea cups and yummy treats. I read this book with my granddaughter, Autumn, who is nine. We each took a turn reading. These are her comments: "I like the pictures and I want to read the second Emma Lea book. Sometimes I feel like Emma Lea, when my sister gets to do everything, because she's older." The illustrations in Emma Lea's First Tea Pary are beautiful, the book is hard cover, with a wonderful dust jacket. This is a very special book about family traditions, bonding and growing up. The story of Emma Lea is delightful. If you like Fancy Nancy, you will love Emma Lea.Fancy Nancy

A beautiful book!

I read Emma Lea's Tea Party and was immediately moved to send it to my niece Emma. She is 4 years old. She absolutely loves the book and thinks it is about her. Such a beautiful tale with illustrations to match. A little girl can weave fantasies about this book. I can hardly wait until the next Emma Lea book!

Great for the Entire Family!

I'm always looking for fun stories to read to the kids at our family get-togethers. I loved this book and so have the kids and adults with whom I've shared it. In this story Emma Lea is excited and feeling very grown-up because she has finally been invited to her Grammy's birthday party. Grammy's birthday is celebrated every year at a very special tea party with her mother and aunts. But the party doesn't turn out quite the way Emma Lea imagined it would. The way she handles the situation, with some wise support from her Grandpop, make this a valuable lesson for kids and adults alike. It's a sweet story and nicely illustrated too.
