“I find the Emma Lea stories to be utterly charming and enjoyable with a serious message for children and adults. The message being that we all need to be sensitive to each other’s feelings and we all need to learn to appreciate the joys that may be derived from life’s simplest pleasures.”

Emma Lea’s First Tea Party

Emma Lea is finally old enough to participate in her grandmother’s yearly, birthday tea party. She gets ready, has her hair fixed in a grown-up way and the excitement builds. Emma Lea feels special when she see’s the grown up table, set with delicate tea cups and yummy treats.

I read this book with my granddaughter, Autumn, who is nine. We each took a turn reading. These are her comments:
“I like the pictures and I want to read the second Emma Lea book. Sometimes I feel like Emma Lea, when my sister gets to do everything, because she’s older.”

The illustrations in Emma Lea’s First Tea Party are beautiful, the book is hard cover, with a wonderful dust jacket. This is a very special book about family traditions, bonding and growing up. The story of Emma Lea is delightful. If you like Fancy Nancy, you will love Emma Lea.Fancy Nancy
