Birthday Party Packages

At my tenth birthday party, I ditched my guests and huddled in a corner to read my favorite gift, a copy of Norton Juster’s The Phantom Tollbooth. If only my parents and I had the idea to throw a book party, I wouldn’t have been so anti-social. This memory, along with my continued love of books (and parties) has led me to create the Books & Books Birthday Party Packages. With three different packages to choose from, there is something for every need (and budget). Encourage your child’s love of reading! Celebrate in our gorgeous Mediterranean style book shop! Let us worry about all of the details! Books & Books hopes to help celebrate your child’s love of reading. There is nothing like a life full of books.
