A kid's idea of a sleepover is good friends hanging out, talking and giggling until morning. A parent's idea of a sleepover is worrying about keeping a group of children entertained until their parents pick them up. The truth about a sleepover is that with a little planning and effort, a memory that will last a lifetime can be made in twenty-four hours. Pair that idea with Julie Lavender's newest book, Creative Sleepovers for Kids!, and now you're on to something that both parents and children will enjoy.

Creative Sleepovers for Kids! contains great idea after great idea for fun and exciting slumber parties for boys or girls. This easy-to-read, comprehensive idea book is filled with fun activities, unique themes, and creative ideas that will keep children up to their armpits and kneecaps in good fun. Julie Lavender takes parents through all stages of planning including before, during, and after the party.

Creative Sleepovers for Kids! includes:

  • a variety of theme parties from "All Aboard" to "You Oughta Be in Pictures,"
  • ideas for invitations, decorations, activities, and party favors,
  • suggestions on what to serve, what to play, and what to expect, and
