About this product
Product Information
It's dress-up for grown-ups, and the liveliest, most imaginative collection of Halloween costume ideas--447 costume ideas to be exact--from two hip, inveterate lovers of all things Halloween . . . plus dozens of other ideas for enjoying the holiday. Bridie Clark and Ashley Dodd are the dynamic duo, in or out of capes. For every level of interest, time--and irony--they offer suggestions. There's the ultra-quick: Pin several pair of underwear to a shirt, and voila, A Chest of Drawers. With a bit more time, wrap yourself in aluminum foil and don a beret--mmm, French Kiss. There are Angels and Devils, all with variations (add roller skates to your Satan costume, and go as Hell on Wheels). Come Hither costumes--Lady Godiva, Chippendales Dancer, Stripper Emerging from a Cake. Celeb sightings, from the Dalai Lama to Madonna (six Madonnas, actually, from all of her phases). Costumes for couples--Sweethearts Caught on Lover's Lane, Fred and Wilma Flintstone--and costumes for whole groups of friends, including how to appear as the Sopranos or the hapless castaways on Gilligan's Island . And for the children, check out Nursery Rhymes, Fairy Tales, and Other Costumes for the Young and Young at Heart. Finally, for the friend who just can't bear the thought of dressing up but still wants to join the fun, suggest the Time Traveler from the Day Before Halloween.

Reviews
Gr. 4-6. As usual with books from this publisher, much of the information is delivered through excellent full-color photos. Wilkes, who has several similarly designed craft books to her credit, has carefully tailored her instructions to work with the step-by-step photos. After a few concise words about costume-making materials and the symbols she uses in the text (for example, stars suggest time requirements for a project), she gives instructions for making a variety of costume parts--box masks, tunics, weaponry, hats, mustaches, beards, etc.--that can be combined in any number of ways. A list, with accompanying photos, of necessary tools and materials heads each set of directions, and photos of finished projects are provided. The designs are frivolous and fun, with plenty of child appeal, and they can usually be accomplished by handy kids with a minimum of adult mentoring., Grade 3-6-A bright, eye-catching, oversized book filled with full-color photographs and useful information. A wide variety of masks, head gear, and costumes are presented, with explanations for making and combining accessories. The step-by-step instructions are presented in words and photographs. Ordinary household tools are used, and all the materials are easy to find, collect, or buy. The projects are arranged in three groups, according to the length of time required, and all models are children. The instructions are clear, giving basic ideas, and suggesting variations and accents. Middle-grade students and adults working with younger children will be able to follow them with ease. Only one template, or pattern, is provided, so costume makers are encouraged to use their artistic skills to customize each piece. Those with some craft experience may have an easier time than novices, although the simplest procedures are always given. (Only a few costumes require any sewing; glue, staples, and tape are preferred.)-Darcy Schild, Schwegler Elementary School, Lawrence, KS
