Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Please Stop
Someone please stop this woman from mass-producing such rubbish. All of her books are a waste of trees. It's not so much that she is a former Playboy bunny and stripper, it's that without any degree or training in child development, or any related field, she has no intelligent basis for her "advice." She needs to take a simple parenting class and go from there.
Rating:  - I am glad to have this book
This year I have attended so many kids parties with my 3 1/2 year old, and now its my turn. I am so glad to have this book as a guideline. I have seen parents throw parties where the guests arrive and everyone is just sitting around, there is no plan. They put some food out on a table for people to nibble on and the kids just run around. No structure, no plan, no fun party. Maybe I live in another world, but I found the girlfriends guide a great guide to avoiding having a dull gathering for a kids ... Read More
Rating:  - Works for Me
I was really appreciative to find this book, because it offers a lot of concrete, practical advice and ideas for party and playdate planning.

The party ideas aren't out of control, either--they don't expect you to spend several weeks with your glue gun (or several weeks of ... Read More
Rating: - Must-have party planner
This book was a godsend when I was organizing my 3-year-old daughter's birthday party. It not only made suggestions about what to do, but gave critical info about what not to do (and why). The advice worked like a charm -- three moms told me it was the best party they'd ever been to. As for the other readers' complaints about voice, maybe it's because I've only read one other Iovine guide (Pregnancy), but I had no problem with it -- it's fun, friendly and concretely helpful. My copy is now lost in ... Read More
Rating: - very dissapointing
i am a card-carrying girlfiend ... loved iovine's previous books (i have all the guides from pregnancy to getting your grrove back and LOVE them all!). i really wanted to love this book.
instead, it was a huge dissapointment. it had none of the chatty, witty dialougue or cute anecdotes that made iovine's earlier books fun to read, and so different from every other parenting book.
this book read like a very tedious magazine article. the author occasionally tried to sprinkle in some vicki-like ... Read More
