Eyeball hors d'oeuvres, Jell-O snot, and at least three varieties of edible poop--it's not really a party until someone runs screaming from the room. The nine novelty recipes in each of these cookbooks, while in some cases requiring a little extra prep time, pay off in the ick factor. Fearless chefs can choose dishes that require only cutting and assembly (Tongue and Tooth Bites in Mummy Dogs) or more complex recipes, such as Superslimy Bat Wings in Tombstone Sandwiches. There is some reliance on processed items, but many recipes are made from whole foods or scratch. Most of the base recipes have utility beyond their gross-out potential--kids can learn to make deviled eggs, ramen, or popcorn balls--and most are fairly appetizing, but others, such as Muddy Earthworm Spaghetti, made with black beans, barbecue sauce, and red pepper jelly, sound as awful as they look. Front matter, duplicated in each volume, encourages kids to get creative with punny names and startling props to emphasize the nasty nature of their gross grub. VERDICT Kids will learn a variety of preparation techniques in this amusing series. An easy pick for Halloween programs. --School Library Journal --Journal
