Product Review
Make your home come alive with ghoulish spirit by plucking clever Halloween ideas from Laura Dover Doran's The Big Book of Halloween. From indoor décor to yard trimming, eerie edibles to easy costumes, Doran supplies a pleasantly spooky assortment of decorating and party-making ideas. Greet trick-or-treaters with authentic-looking gravestones and a procession of paper-bag luminaries, set the table with a bat runner and a pumpkin-spoon centerpiece, then serve up haunted-house cake or graveyard pudding washed down with spicy witch's brew (cider punch). Lots of color photos supplement good directions, and as an added bonus Doran throws in eight ghost stories to tell at your next Halloween party--illuminated by ghostly gourd lights, of course. --Amy Handy
From School Library Journal
YA-Beginning with a short historical overview and background, Doran focuses on festivities for a contemporary celebration of the occasion. Each separate section covers a main theme perfect for a delightfully frightful time. Ideas and detailed instructions, with photographs, for Devilish Decorations, Spooky Lighting, Eerie Edibles, Clever Costumes, and Frightening Fun are included. The projects range from easily constructed with minimal time required to projects that call for substantially more in the way of the investment of supplies and effort. Instructions are clearly written and the finished products appear on the same page, a bonus for those who like to see what the end result will be without flipping from one end of the book to the other. Tidbits of Halloween trivia are featured throughout. Several stories of reported hauntings, as well as some spooky folktale-type stories, are also included. YAs looking for additional ideas for seasonal fun can find a wealth of information; projects to make or easily adapt; and a variety of foods, costumes, and things to do.

Reader Reviews
I love this book! The craft projects are beautiful, functional, and diverse, presented beautifully with great photography and art production value. Notes and articles about various aspects of Hallowe'en are interspersed throughout, making this resource much more than just a how-to book. It's a joy to look at, whether you're in the mood to read, create, or just look at great seasonal photos and illustrations.
