"Thanks so much for sending
me your new book, Slumber Parties...What Do I Do?®.
You are such a great author, I feel honored to be a part of it.
Your books lend such insight on trying to raise children in a healthy happy
environment. I'm sure children everywhere feel more loved because of your
helpful books. Best of luck in all you do."

“The idea of sleep, to many kids and teens,
is anathema; after all, suppose something happened while they’re conked out for
the evening? Ripple, author of four other “What Do I Do?® “ books for
parents, tackles, along with her coauthor, about eight different issues with her
fifth book—on slumber parties. There’s the matter of baby-sitters—now completely
unnecessary when following one of her 14 party ideas. Or the child entertainment
factor, obliterated by a great selection of creative ideas, from cartoon to
safari themes. Even the food challenge, solved by easy-to-make snack type
recipes. Every sleepover includes instructions galore: reproducible invitations,
crafts, stories to tell, games and videos to play, plus a 20-something list of
extra ideas should hours need to be filled. A first chapter on the whats, whys,
and hows of slumber parties answers almost every conceivable parental query, for
handling bedwetting accidents to ascertaining if a child is ready for a
sleepover.”
—Barbara Jacobs, Booklist,
August 2002
“Thanks, Ms. Ripple, for saving us the
trouble of writing a slumber party book! We had planned to add a slumber party
book to our titles, but after seeing Wilhelminia "Willie" Ripple's
Slumber Parties...What Do I Do?®
we agreed there was no need. She has written the most complete,
imaginative, charming and easy-to-follow book on the subject we've ever seen.
The book misses nothing. There are invitation ideas, activities, craft projects,
party favors and even menus to suit the occasion. The theme parties are great
fun and there's something in the book for every age group and either sex. There
are even some parties that the "big girls" will love such as the wedding party
sleepover that is bound to break new ground in the bachelorette party circles.
In addition, the book contains some great advice on the types of parties for
different age groups and tips for parents giving the party or whose child has
been invited to one.
Congratulations, Willie, on a job well done! What
more can we say? This is a book every parent will
want to own and follow."
—Phyllis Cambria and Patty Sachs, Authors of The Complete Idiot's Guide to
Throwing a Great Party
"I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to reply
to your incredible helpfulness for my daughter's slumber party in December. I
just wanted to write to say that you are without a doubt the most pleasant
people I've ever dealt with. Your books are just fabulous. Minutely detailed,
with great ideas and instructions, and what's more, the ideas WORK! So many
books have ideas that look and sound great, but when you go to try them they
just don't work, or are age inappropriate, etc. Also, I can tell that these
books are a love affair for all of you. When the slumber party book wasn't going
to be done in time for our party, I could tell you really cared that we would
have a good party. You spent so much time with me, giving me ideas and showing
so much personal interest. Interest in us having a good party, not just interest
in me as a spending customer! Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you. You guys
are the best! Keep those books coming!”
—Teri Bavley, Satisfied Customer, Prairie
