My 7 year old followed the clear directions to make himself a complete set of knight's armor for Halloween. The materials
suggested were readily available and the final results as dazzling as the books title suggested!

This is a wonderful book for the creative spirit or crafty mom. Instead of spending your hard earned cash on flimsy costumes that may get only one wear, you can make your own. It includes a multitude of colorful photos and easy to follow, step-by-step instructions to make many exciting and unique costumes. Some of them include: a king, robot, knight in shining armour, magician, cowboy and hula girl. This would be a great book to use for Halloween costumes as well as for dress up and role play. Many of the costumes can be made by kids themselves. It will save you money and the kids will have a great time.

This book would be a really great book for kids.
It would be fantastic to use as inspiration for Halloween costumes.
There are some great ideas inside. The instructions seem easy for children to follow and most of the materials used to make the costumes are available around the house or at a craft store.

I enjoyed this book because most of the items for making the costumes you can find around the house.

I will be using disguises in a summer program at the library. The instuctions for the glasses and beards are very easy to understand and the pictures are fantastic.

The book contains great illustrations and instructions to create several costumes, but we were uninspired to create anything from the book or based on the book. I was looking for more inspiration, tips and tricks to create other costumes. This book wasn't what I sought.
