Angelina's Tea Party: An Activity Book

Summary: Tea Party Etiquette
Review: The most appealing part of this 15 page activity book is the punch out Tea Party Set. It has cut outs to make the tea pot and cups stand upright, is designed with pink flowers, and has paper cookies to put on the serving platter. At an interview, an Estee Lauder representative once told me that Ladies need Saucers, here is where I give Angelina a citation for improper etiquette! There are no saucers for the cups! This is rated for baby to preschool but the Tea Party punch out would make it attractive to even a slightly older girl. The basic activities, which are scarce, are geared towards a young age except for the coloring section. The cut outs could also be glued to decorate notebooks or just use your imagination! As for Angelina Ballerina herself, one has to appreciate the form of the mouse to really love her. I would choose this book over Angelina stickers because seeing a mouse in various tutu's is not that appealing. This American Girl collection activity book has a strong competitor in Sylvia Walker's Pretty Ballerinas, paper dolls.
