Customer Reviews

A wonderful and funnny story, weather you are going to a wedding or not.

I remember practicing for fancy family gatherings as a child, but it was never this much fun. The first time I read this book it was to my 89 year-old grandmother and my 4 and 8 year-old children. I can't say who enjoyed it more, everyone was laughing out loud! The lesson in the book can apply to any semi-formal gathering and it is a fun book to read anytime.

The Best Wedding Book for Kids!

My kids loved this book - it explains what happens at a wedding through a cleverly-written story, and there's nothing else like it out there. This would make a perfect gift for a flower girl or ring bearer, or any kid who's invited to a wedding. The great thing is that it's not too "girly," so boys will like it, too.

A must-have for any wedding!

This book is a delight! A unique and creative gift for all the "little ones" who will be heading to those spring and summer weddings. The lessons about proper behavior at a wedding are carefully woven into a delightful storyline. The wonderful illustrations will capture every reader's attention.

Ideal book for preparing children to attend a wedding.

Written by Sara F. Shacter and illustrated by Christine Thorton, Heading To The Wedding is a children's picturebook with a purpose beyond entertainment - to educate young people about what a wedding is like, and what the proper way to behave at one is. A young boy and girl are used to thinking of big gatherings as parties where they can dress up in costume and act out to have fun; together, they learn how to enjoy themselves and respect the special day of the bride and groom. A glossary of wedding words round out this ideal book for preparing children to attend a wedding.

A Lesson in Good Behavior

I bought this for the children for whom I babysit, ages 2 and 4. The little boy, age 2, loved the bright and entertaining illustrations; the 4-year-old girl later asked me while holding up this book, "Will you please read my favorite book to me again?" This book is a wonderful, entertaining way to teach children effective lessons on how to behave appropriately at an adult event while still enjoying themselves.
