The projects described in these books include a costume item, a decorative piece, an edible object, and a toy. Readers try folding origami, mixing slime, sewing, and baking. Step-by-step instructions feature a photo or two, although they don’t show hands executing the actions involved. In some cases, as with the sewing required for werewolf paws (Monsters), a diagram might benefit some readers. One page of fun facts completes each book. Materials are mainly household items or art supplies, although candy eyes, fake fur, or black poster board may require special purchase. Many of these crafts must dry overnight or cool. The series uses engaging graphics. The fonts reinforce the creepy theme, while projects are executed in bright colors. The pages use a different thematic border for each project. VERDICT These appealing books showcase a variety of projects that may tempt the makers in your library.
