Review

This book provides some interesting facts about the origins of Halloween
as well as information about costumes, recipes, and other aspects of
Halloween. But the book comes in a package with three bat-handled
cutting utensils. And though parental supervision is advised, these
“knives” could be dangerous in the hands of children. Not
recommended.
