The Review…

Cordelia decides to have a tea party, inviting her brother, her teddy and, of course, T-Rex. Idle’s text gives the proper ways to host afternoon tea for special guest. Meanwhile, her humorous illustrations contrast the text by showing the difficulties that come along with hosting such a special guest. Complete with too-small chairs, tiny teacups and wild dinosaur dancing, Cordelia struggles to make sure her afternoon is not a disaster. But not to worry, with these instructions “you can be sure that your guest will want to return the favor.” Sure enough, who hosts the next tea party? Tea Rex, of course. Idle’s use of the end papers for added illustrations completes this imaginative story. She creates beautiful images with just the right mix of dainty and elegant with chaos and disaster. Recommended for ages 2-6.
The Opinion…
Just lovely! Who’d have thought a T-rex and a tea party would be such a great mix! Also, please take a look at Molly Idle’s Flora and the Flamingo. Beautiful and just perfect!
