A Ghostly Good Time: The Family Halloween Handbook Paperback – Bargain Price, September 1, 2008

This book has many cute ideas for Halloween, mostly geared toward small children (preschool age to six years old, would be my best guess). The boy I bought this for, at eight years of age, is already too old for most of the party ideas in this book. That being said, I think it would have been beneficial if I would have found this a few years ago.Pros:1. Multiple ideas for decorating, baking, costumes, pumpkin carving, and kids party ideas.2. Most projects in this book seem easy to make and bake, some so easy that kids could help, making it a great book for family-time projects.3. Great "G-rated" Haunted House ideas... not too scary for the little ones.Cons:1. Older kids might be bored with the younger-themed projects and costumes in this book.

I picked this up with Matthew Mead's, "Halloween Tricks & Treats" and I'm glad I did!Both books are completely unique so together you have a multitude of ideas and projects for an Awesome Halloween. While the focus of Mead's book centers largely on recipes, "A Ghostly Good Time" leans more towards costumes and decorating the home and yard.The idea's are colorful and light on the creepy factor, this is, after all a book geared towards families and children. Both books are written and/or compiled by special interest magazines so the collection is fresh while throwing an easy nod to tradition.Another must for all of you Halloween addicts out there, and we know who we are!

I find this one a little juvenile, I'm not returning it, but if I leafed through it in a store I probably wouldn't have purchased it. There are so many other (and I think better) choices. Depends on what you are looking for, I love Martha Stewart too, but sometimes her projects are way to overboard, but this goes in the other direction, a little too much.

This had some fun things in it, easy to work stuff and I really like the finished product. Some things are a little more trouble than I would go to, but most are easy.

This book has such wonderful, fun ideas that can be made very inexpensivly.Lots of cute costumes for kids (and adults!), plus instructions!If I was in the market for another Halloween book I will definitely check out one by this company.

Great book with plenty of holiday ideas. It was on sale for a deep discount so the price can't be beat. Made for a great gift.

I liked this, there were some cute ideas. A few repeats from the Halloween issues of Woman's Day, but a lot of new ideas also.

Another book with some good ideas for Halloween! I won't use all the ideas but have plans to do some other things as take offs of these things! Worth having on your shelf for Holiday ideas!
