Zeen Review: THE STUPIDEST TEA PARTY I'VE EVER BEEN TO IN ALL MY LIFE

THE STUPIDEST TEA PARTY I'VE EVER BEEN TO IN ALL MY LIFE by Licky the Cream AKA Natalie Aylward

This is one of Natalie's more recent zeens & perhaps the wordiest one to date. There's a picture in the back of her & Maddy Phelan @ their zeen stall & I get a hint that this may be a bit of a joint effort from the pair of them. Which is to say the content of this zeen is more reminiscent of Maddy's zeens than Natalie's, being so wordy, as Natalie's are previously very picture based. It's theme is tea & tea parties. It's filled w/ tea facts concerning its history & its botanical make up. It's got how-to guides for tea parties & ceremonies & recipes for classic tea party comestibles. & It's got pictures of cute kittens, so it's not unlike Maddy's 'Cat's Pyjamas' zeens only it's about tea rather than cats. But apparently this one may be by Natalie. & If so, I enjoyed the facts & figures perhaps more than Maddy's 'How Things Work' zeen which is very facts & figuresey, but as I've told Maddy, tends to put me to sleep in a boring classroom kind of way. So maybe that's  a point of difference in Natalie's tea zeen to Maddy's zeens I keep comparing it too & tea is an intriguing theme for a zeen too.
