Teatime with Emma Buttersnap

Loved it. It is out of print so I am lending it around my playgroup. No little girl should be without this charming book! I hope it is reprinted for Christmas 2006. What a great gift.

What a darling book...I have a tea business and when children come for tea they bring their dolls which are set at the doll tea table...this book is displayed there...my nieces loved it too when I read it to them!

This is an absolutely delightful book that opened my eyes about tea parties. I highly recommend it to the parent of any child with a vivid imagination and sense of fun. Emma Buttersnap, the charming heroine, goes on an intriguing journey to a mysterious land (England). Along the way she learns history (Boston Tea Party), botany (all the varieties of tea), arts & crafts (doily making) and more. There's a juicy mystery that kept my own daughter quite intrigued. The illustrations, by the way, are superb.

A wonderful and vibrant book both in picture and text, TEA TIME gives young girls an interesting introduction to the history of tea and tea parties. Emma is a precocious narrator and her Aunt Pru a wonderful teacher. It's a perfect gift book -- I bought one for each of my nieces who love it!

Tate provides a fun, fresh and informative look into the history of tea and tea parties. The precocious Emma takes us through all the steps of a tea party that should be fun for children of all ages. I bought copies for my nieces who love it. TEATIME is a perfect gift book.
