Pinks and purples dominate in this combination cook/craft/how-to/storybook, in which Emma and Aunt Pru plan a tea party for a mysterious guest. Interesting facts about the history, growth and production of tea, tea-drinking customs, recipes, and suggestions for invitations and table decorations are sprinkled into the preparations. Borders, whimsical spot art, rounded figures, and swirling lines add energy.
