Review by School Library Journal Review
Gr 1-5-Beery offers ideas for six themed celebrations, such as a mermaid princess party, a garden fairy princess party, and a spa princess party. They all include delicate but easy-to-follow recipes for punch, cookies, cakes, sushi, and decorations, as well as themed crafts such as body lotion and floral headbands. These are well-planned ideas, with plenty of full-color photographs to support the text. The author includes a note to parents about safety and age-appropriate tasks. An introduction to the "Pink Princess Kitchen" includes tips, tricks, and prep ideas as well as manners. This delightfully inventive book will be a cherished addition to every princess's cookbook collection.-Cynde Suite, Bartow County Library System, Adairsville, GA (c) Copyright 2011.

Review by Horn Book Review
Every Pink Princess knows her way around an enchanted kitchen." In this cavity-inducing collection, Beery provides recipes and craft activities for six types of princess parties ("Snowflake," "Enchanted Pony," etc.). While the recipes may be too high in marshmallow content and "pink candy coating" for some parents' tastes, Beery's creativity can't be denied. Photographic arrangements display the finished products. Ind. (c) Copyright 2011. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
