3.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Halloween book this is not!, September 30, 1999

This review is from: Tricks & treats - the ultimate halloween book (Hardcover)

Any book that bills itself the "Ultimate" had better be at least very good. This book doesn't fit the bill. A beautiful book, but the contents are reworked ideas most crafters have seen before. You'll get more bang for your buck buying a Halloween crafting magazine. Most projects are much too difficult for kids. Cute food ideas.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful to look at- Impractical to work, May 30, 2010

This review is from: Tricks & treats - the ultimate halloween book (Hardcover)

The title sounded like it was going to be the most, ultimate, wonderful book. And at first blush it is colorful and seemed great. But then when I really sat and poured through it I figured out what is missing. Halloween is a one night event, albeit, one of the most fun for kids and adults alike. However, many of the patterns were for things that would take way too long to make, if you even knew how to crochet- which I do. I just wouldn't take the time to make something that took that long for a one night event. If you want to totally sew and craft and decorate your yard there are some good ideas, and there are some cute plans for getting a bit creative with your pumpkin. The recipes were just so-so, but the jack-o-lantern pancakes was a cute idea. The costume ideas were supposed to be easy, but were a little time consuming, so I only gave this book 2 stars.

This review is from: Tricks & treats - the ultimate halloween book (Hardcover)

This is a GREAT Halloween book, perhaps one of the best! It has a little bit of everything, including some wonderful and original ideas for Halloween. ie- recipies for Halloween cookies, designs for Halloween jackets, how to turn your small pumpkins into excellent looking cats and your squashes into black and white ghosts. Also has tons of fantastic decorations and many cute and original Halloween costumes for little kids. This is great, and totally worth it!
