Book Reviews of Tricks and Treats
Book Review: A Christmas book with pumpkins
Summary: 2 Stars
What I found really weird about this book was (besides having nothing really new or interesting in it) was that it was essentially a Christmas craft and gift book with a Halloween theme overlay.
What I've always enjoyed about Halloween is that it is a time to do fun and goofy things that you don't normally do during the rest of the year - dress up like a rock star, dangle fake bodies in your yard, make food that looks like trash.
I feel like this book misses the spirit of Halloween while relying on the basic expectations of the Christmas holiday to do alot of hand-made gifts, and annoyingly complicated recipes.
If you are an accomplished craft maker or seamstress, you might get some ideas from this book, but for the average person hosting a Halloween party or dressing your kids lookng for new ideas, I'd look elsewhere.
