The Party

This is one of the best children's books ever. All 5 of my grandchildren loved this book when they were young. The illustrations are amazing.

Barbara Reid is a world renowned Canadian author and illustrator. Reid has won just about every Canadian award for children's authors or illustrators, and her unique plasticine illustrations are known and recognized the world over. She won the Governor General's Literary Award for Children's Illustration with this book.This is the story of a family reunion/party. It is the story of two sisters who are nervous and hesitant at the beginning of the day, and a little shy about being at the party. Yet as the day wears on the children have their own fun and adventures as the adults catch up and enjoy the party also. With incredible illustrations and a great story, it is a book that will be fun for the whole family.

This is a fantastic book that would be wonderfully delightful for people of all ages! This is a very cute book that tells a story about two sisters going to their grandmothers birthday party. At first they seem to be shy, but almost instantaneously start playing games with the other children at the party! By the end of the night, they did not want to leave! The illustrations in this book are amazing! They almost seem clay like with a lot of detail. If you are a teacher, i would recommend having this book in your classroom; the students will love it! It is also a great book for your children!

This book is one that I will remember for a very long time. My daughters borrowed it from the library several times until I finally decided to buy it. They absolutely love it. The book enables me to reminisce about my own childhood and the wonderful times with my extended family.

We had checked this book out from our local library and enjoyed it so much we purchased it, so we knew what we were getting. Great animation and a fun story.
