    I LIKE YOU isn't a children's book.  In fact, unless your parents say you can read it, or you're at least sixteen, I
    wouldn't recommend it.  But if you're a mature teenager who enjoys off-beat humor mixed in with recipes, entertaining
    tips, and a hodgepodge of other "homey" ideas, then this is the book for you.

    "Hello, and I like you."  According to Ms. Sedaris, this is what you're saying every time you invite someone into your
    house.  Unfortunately, I had originally thought that when I invited people into my house I was saying, "Hello, sorry my
    house looks like bohemian children with outrageous hobbies live here."  But, whatever.  Amy Sedaris, whom you
    might recognize from roles in School of Rock, Bewitched, Elf, and Strangers With Candy, has given us a slew of
    ideas, recipes, and helpful hints for entertaining those people we invite into our home.

    This over-sized tome is chock full of recipes, from the hors d'oeuvres to the main course to dessert.  Mixed in, of
    course, are witty comments from Ms. Sedaris herself, hilarious photos, and tips on keeping that party spirit alive.  If
    you want to give the perfect gift, for any occasion, to someone you love, show them you like them by handing them a
    copy of I LIKE YOU.  Believe me, everyone will be happy.
