My grandmother works at the library and used to get this book out for me every year, I had the most incredible parties ever. I'm now 17 and I'm still in love with this book, this year I'll be getting it for my 9 year old sister. It's well written, creative, with easy to use instructions and recipes. It's amazing!!

Very good, practical recipes & snack ideas, theme party ideas, costumes, decor, games, etcetera.

Not sure why the amazon people put the reading level at 4 - 8, because while this is loaded with great illustrations & snippets of text for those ages, it is primarily a how-to book for parents of kids 3 or 4 to 11 or 12. (Actually, you may easily garner a few great ideas for that adult Halloween party)!

Crack it open on the sofa with the children gathered 'round. Really puts readers in the mood for this fun holiday, starts the excitement, gets the creative juices flowing. I gave my kids a couple of great Halloween parties with the use of this excellent, practical book.

Not as wonderful as I had hoped from the other reviews, but O.K. Quite a few pages devoted, at the begining, to the so-called 'history' of Halloween. I get tired of reading these little hearsay histories - Halloween has about as much to do with Samhain or the Celts as Christmas does with Saturnalia. Anyway, there are some cute ideas in the book for homemade costumes and some fun party games and themes that you may appreciate.
