Price: $19.95

By Dorothea Johnson, John Harney, and Ann Noyes
Illustrated by Dawn Peterson
Recipes by Bruce Richardson

When Harry and Kate learn they are going to a tea party with their grandparents, they are very excited. A brief etiquette session with Ms. Johnson gives them the skills they need to enjoy an afternoon tea with friends of all ages. They learn how to shake hands, introduce themselves, pick up a napkin, eat a scone, and drink tea from a proper cup. The children think of several "magic words" that they can use to show they are polite and have good manners—"please," "thank you," "may I," and "you're welcome."

A guest tea blender makes an appearance at the tea party where he shares a bit of tea history. They learn that tea originated in China and has been enjoyed for thousands of years.

Grandparents, parents, and children will find this book a valuable resource for learning about good manners, good tea, and good tea time recipes.
