Customer Reviews

Great Faces

Who would have thought that you could get so many different faces from a pumpkin. The faces are true art and are quite easily done yourself if you wish to create your own. I bought this book last year, created my own pumpkins that look just like these quite quickly. This year, everyone's calling us asking how we created those pumpkins and where they can get the book.

Great book for creative people with a sense of humor.

If you can hold a pumpkin and can handle a pocket knife the variations on the theme presented in the craft portion of this book will delight your children (up to 40+ years) and definitely your grandchildren. Giving titles of recipes in their orignal language but instructions in English is a delightful deviation from the conventional cookbook approach.

Great book my Grandkids want to make them all

It's very gratifying to find the books that children as well as adults enjoy. We had a great time with the carving and it is true you never think to use the stem as a nose but also we use the other end and cut out the blossom end and insert a carrot to make a witch. Great book and full of ideas

The pictures made me laugh out loud!

This book is full of clever ideas for carving pumpkins using the stem as the nose. Even if you don't want to carve a pumpkin, the pictures are great for comic relief. The book also includes recipes, but I bought it for the pictures.
