Prissy Sissy Tea Party Series Book 2 the Chinese New Year Tea Party Tea Time Improves Manners

By Elizabeth Long

The Prissy Sissy Tea Party Series of childrens books is centered around tea parties. The setting is a small town in the South. Sissys parents own a private school, LEcole Par Excellence, and a bed-and-breakfast inn, known as Magnolia Manor.

The main character is Sissy, an eight-year-old who is the product of a Southern mother who believes strongly in maintaining the social graces, customs, and traditions of the past and a retired father who was a military officer but is now headmaster of their private school. Sissy blends her mothers influence with her own travel experiences and exposure to various cultures made possible because of her fathers military assignments. She then tells her story in her own prissy Sissy way.

Her four best friends are Lauren, Zack, Alex, and Zeus, her Doberman pinscher. There are several exchange students attending the school who will appear as special guests when a tea party focuses on their homeland.

These books teach readers manners, tea etiquette, and the social graces.
