Just Great

Our family has known Ms. Cleeland for many years, in fact she dressed our son in her costumes and he always won first place. You will so enjoy all her ideas, but most of all you will find her costumes simple to make. You will have bunches of fun making the costumes but most of all your kids will love wearing them

This book is Great!

My little boy loved this book and is looking forward to building the racing boat this halloween. There are enough good costume designs that I think we'll be able to use it for years. Most of the instructions look easy enough to follow, with only a few minor exceptions. I don't have a girl, but some of the little girl costumes were the cutest.Anyways, I think this book is perfect for anyone with a kid that is 5-13 years old and is interested in making their own costumes for Halloween.
