Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.On a recent visit with our grandson we purchased "Balloon Creatures" by Cindy Ippolito. There was a large number of adults and no other children attending the gathering. Something had to be done or both grandson and grandad would go crazy with boredom. A trip to Barnes and Noble was imperative. James, my grandson, picked out a few books and "Balloon Creatures". I was a bit anxious remembering my past encounters with the long hard to blow up balloons but there in the package was a pump. A definite life saver since James was as determined to make a whole zoo of balloons as I was to keep from passing out, red faced in front of him. We spent several hours during the visit making odd looking creatures, hats and what not. Dad was especially good at the octopus that arose from the instructions. To be fair, James seemed to enjoy the long colorful balloons the most when he wore them as a monkey's tail and paraded around to the roaring laughter of his aunts and uncles. And of course, grandad.

I just purchased this awsome book/kit;2 as a matter of fact. I would say it is the best one I have seen in a long time, my nieces & nephews were mesmerized thinking their autnt was so talented. The instructions were easy to follow and the end result so entertaining. Great job - and just in time for those holiday gifts for both the young and old.
My hat off to Cindy (Cookie) Ippolito.

If your kids (or you) want to learn some AWESOME balloon creatures - this is the book. It comes with a great little pump and balloons and there are some really cool sculptures it teaches. The author, Cindy Ippolito offers up a nice selection of balloon art to learn. Have a couple of kids that I bought it for and they had a ball with it. I don't usually leave reviews, but this one was a winner!
