Gr 4-6Ghosts, Witches: and Things Like That presents a whole cauldron of ghoulish tales and creepy crafts that kids will love. Between the book's covers lurk werewolves, ghost stories, magic tricks and spooky poems. Folklore, recipes and crafts are also included; instructions for building a chamber of horrors and a recipe for a gruesome red gelatin hand will be sure hits. Though almost all the subjects covered here are familiar ones, its nice to see so many terrifying topics all in one book. The book's eclectic contents and its large color illustrations plus black-and-white drawings make it ideal for browsing. Instructions for craft projects and recipes are clear and logical; the only difficulties arise from occasional Briticisms (which for the most part, are deducible from context). Both metric measurements and non-metric equivalents are provided in the recipes. Librarians will find this book helpful in fulfilling the many requests they get for stories about and pictures of spooky things. Cathryn A. Camper, Minneapolis Public Library
