I am a working mom with not much free time so I was looking for a book with quick and easy craft ideas that I could make with my young daughter. This book is full of great inventive ideas for making simple and cute decorations for the home, easy costumes ideas and yummy snacks that are Halloween themed. We plan on making some of the decorations this weekend. And we are bringing the moody monster muffins and creepy crawlers to a friend's party!

Very nice book on great ideas for Halloween! Of course it does not include ALL of B&G's ideas, because they want you to visit their website and buy their magazines, etc...but for me, this is perfect. LOVE it!!
