Snazaroo Zoo by Janis Bullis (1997, Paperback)

This is a super book to use esp. if you like homemade costumes better than store-bought ones. They tell in detail how to paint faces and make costumes. They tell the materials you need and some books come with the facepaint included. The costumes are fairly easy to make and you don't have to be a talented seamstress to create your own. I did a version of the dog for my son this Halloween and he was absolutely adorable. I took very little time to do and less than the costumes from stores. He received so many compliments and the teachers picked him to lead the parade!
