From Booklist
Gr. 4-6. Expertly riding the Harry Potter tsunami, the authors expand on the potions and projects of The Book of Wizard Craft (2001) with this collection of ideas for eight theme and seasonal fetes--from "Wizards' Winter Revels" to an "Egyptian Summer Solstice Party." Assuring children that, "we wizards never say no to having a good time," the jolly, 600-year-old narrator suggests games, crafts, costumes, snacks, and such crowd-pleasing concoctions as "Dragon's Blood Potion," which changes color when poured into prepared glasses (the first ingredient listed is "an adult wizard"). The book even includes a few a sketchy folktales. Patterns and diagrams appear when needed, and Baggetta's painted party scenes add festive, atmospheric notes. Though the volume is overdesigned, with padded covers and small type printed over textured backgrounds, the contents are both inventive and practical enough to keep young alchemists and faerie folk spellbound without causing adult wizards to lose either their sanity or their life savings.

From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8-A wizard shares 600 years worth of ideas for staging a party, along with an appropriate story to tell guests for each occasion. Themes include spring, winter, Chinese New Year, Halloween, and summer solstice, as well as generic parties for "alchemists," and Merlin and Aladdin fanciers. Many of the festivities require involved and not inexpensive materials. Craft and food ideas usually have some magical (usually chemical reactive) twist. The decorations, games, food, songs, and stories are described in great detail, and readers are advised when to seek help from an adult. The text is superimposed on splashes and swirls of color, and the illustrations are decorative as well as instructional. This is the ultimate, over-the-top, party idea book for well-off, bored middle schoolers who may be lured by the Harry Potteresque motifs.

Party On(?)
13. September 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book has eight "Magical" themed parties including an Alchemist's Gathering and an Egyptian Summer Solstice Party. It gives suggestions for costumes, decorations, food and activities. It also includes a story to go along with each theme.
I give a LOT of children's parties, most of which include storytelling and crafts. I purchased the book because the kids absolutely loved the ideas in the Book of Wizard Craft by the same authors (which, by the way, I used at several parties in the last year). This one falls short of the Craft book on several counts:
While using the same format as the Book of Wizard Craft, this volume has less substance and more fluff. Many of the activities appeared in more complete form the Craft book. The stories are not as well developed and the art is poor.
The illustrator, Marla Baggetta, tried to copy Lindy Burnett's style for this volume, but fell short of the freshness and vitality of the illustrations in the Craft book. Double-page spreads for each theme do nothing but act as filler, as does the same wizard's robe which appears in each section and then again in the back of the book with only slight variations in decoration.
The wizard "author" mentions in the introduction that it took 600 years to write the Craft book. It's pretty obvious that it didn't take the authors nearly that long to throw together the Party book. If you are specifically looking for ideas for use at a party you might find this book useful. If you are looking for ways to entertain elementary school children for an afternoon or several weeks, purchase the Wizard Craft book.
