10 Neat Things about Being a Flower Girl

Kids don't have to be preparing for a wedding to appreciate the positive, inspiring words and images of the book. I love the narative which includes things like sports, science and entrepreneurship along with the classic "girl" stuff. I even read the book to my two boys so that they can understand that girls are a lot like them in experiences and aspirations.

I was recently married and was given these books by a friend. I had several children in my ceremony and I wanted to make the day as special for them as it was for me. The faces on my little flower girls lit up when I gave the books to them at the rehearsal dinner. They read and re-read them that night; they would not put them down! The day of the wedding the girls could not wait to perform their duties and I honestly feel that the books helped them understand the significance of the occasion. Even better, they were good as gold and knew exactly what to do. These books are great and were a wonderful way to wholeheartedly include the girls in the ceremony, as well as give them something fun to do at the boring rehearsal dinner!

Ms. Paine brings a warm, embracing tone coupled with an education on the "responsibilities" of being a flower girl that would have any little girl excited for her big role in this capacity. The illustrations are beautiful and it is an easy read. I am an event producer and can't keep enough of these in stock for my brides. They are very well received and loved and I even have friends of the bride calling wanting to know where to find these books. Well worth buying!

I've given this book to two of my nieces, each in a different wedding, and they both loved the story and the beautiful illustrations on every page. It's written with humor and is just right for little flower girls under the age of 8. I also gave my 5-year-old grandson "10 Cool Things About Being A Ring Bearer", the companion book to "10 Cool Things About Being A Flower Girl", and he thought it was "cool". These books are a steal at the price and I highly recommend them.
