    • Nice balloon book
I liked the book. Easy to understand and fun ideas.

    • Great step-by-step plan for true skill building
I bought this book several months ago, and my 13 year old son and I have been slowly working our way through this book one project at a time. We have been learning so much and filling our house with new balloon creations. The author does not teach you simply how to make a few different things, but how to design, what each technique is used for, and why different techniques are used in different structures. My son and I read his instructions out loud together, and then read then again as we follow them. Pictures make the difficult spots much easier. We have had a few spots where it took us a few attempts to truly understand what he meant, but that is perfectly normal even when a teacher is standing right in front of you. The book is designed to work through in order, with each new creation building on the skills from the previous one. It is also funny. He strongly encourages people to make many, many of each item, making sure that you truly know the skill and can use it whenever you want to. We;re just a few chapters in at the moment, and my son is already making some of his own designs based on what we know so far. ... show more

    • Good Balloon Book
Got this for my daughter after receiving a balloon kit with pictures and no instructions on how to form balloons. This fit the bill. Some good step by step with pictures. I wish there were a few more beginner forms, but a good range of beginner to advanced. Helpful information on balloon choices, as well. ... show more

    • Cool ideas, not explained well
I've been making balloon animals for years and used to make them for parties, but not at the level of the creations pictured in this book, so I thought this would help me up my game. I like the ideas for advanced balloon creations, and the photos of the finished works are inspiring. However, it's really hard to understand the author's explanations of how to make the different balloons. Even with my experience, I often have no idea what the author's talking about, and there aren't enough pictures of the steps to help figure out what he means. Also, the different balloon creations are scattered throughout the book, without an index. I wish I could just look for "dolphin" or "pumpkin," etc, in the table of contents or an index, and then go straight to the directions, but there's no way to do that. The only way to find directions for a specific balloon creation is to flip through every single page. Reading on my iPhone Kindle app, that takes forever! So, I would recommend this book if you're looking for some really cool ideas and you can figure out how to make them by just looking at a picture of the final product. But, if you're looking for clear instructions, or a way to look up how to make specific fancy balloon creations, this is probably not the book for you. ... show more

    • New to balloon twisting
This book is awesome. I am new to the art and needed a beginners book. The color pictures and directions are easy to follow and several of the designs are absolutely adorable and will make anyone smile. The author is funny and offers several tips. Some of the designs are really complex and I don't have the time to create these in my volenteer activities. However, almost all of the designs in this book can be made in around a minute with practice. Designs include monkey w/ banana, octopus, snake, flower, dolphin, flamingo, 3 mice patterns, moose, horse, pig, frog, lion, skeleton, bee, princess, helicopter, man, seahorse, starfish, jet, butterfly, dog, sword, and a few more. ... show more

    • Sorry to say but imcomplete hard to follow instructions:(
I honestly feel horrible writing this review. Look, I’m pretty good at figuring things out, and I am the type of person who will not be defeated. I’m so sorry but, the lack of pictures, overcomplicated twists, and lengthy word descriptions just make this book about impossible to follow along with. Feels a lot like trying to learn advanced calculus in a foreign language. If you are experienced in twisting you can probably guess and come close to the same result as the book. Find a different product if you are an absolute beginner. Who knows maybe after some experience, I may come back to this book and be able to follow it. ... show more

    • This book provides great step by step instructions with clear pictures
When my children wanted to learn how to make balloon animals, I sought out books that were written at a level that elementary aged students could comprehend. This book provides great step by step instructions with clear pictures. The balloons go in order from least to most complicated, with each new balloon teaching a new skill. My son is 8. He had a little bit of difficulty at first, but with practice is doing great. ... show more
