L. Frank Baum’s classic tale The Wonderful Wizard of Oz provides the inspiration for this creative collection of more than 50 projects to make and bake, ranging from a dress-up Dorothy doll and Toto’s dog coat to the Tin Woodman’s heart garland, the Cowardly Lion’s glove puppet, and squashed Wicked Witch cupcakes. Filled with original and playful ideas for the eclectic craft lover, this enchanting book perfectly captures the magical essence of this faraway land. Everything Oz is brimming with new and innovative projects to eat, drink, wear, and display, inviting readers to bring the Emerald City and other Oz whimsies to their own homes and events. Today, the Land of Oz lives on in many different forms, and its creator, L. Frank Baum, would be astounded at what his offspring has wrought. More than 100 years after that classic novel’s publication, London illustrator Leech and fashion stylist Read-Baldrey collaborate again (Everything Alice, 2011, was their previous book together) to provide Yellow Brick Road items to fans of all ages. The 50 pieces offer some wonderful options in easy-to-do crafts and cuisine: for instance, a bluebird wreath; a Cowardly Lion hand puppet; pistachio popcorn (natch, from the Emerald City); Toto’s dog jacket (better not try this on a pooch larger than a cairn terrier); and cyclone cupcakes. Directions are effusively written; illustrations fill in any conceivable gaps in the instructions. Sidebars are delightful, from a quiz to determine what kind of witch you are to memorable quotes from and facts about the wizard and his gang. Yellow Brick Roadies, unite! --Barbara Jacobs "Beautifully illustrated, Everything Alice will help you create a fanciful, fun teatime. Read-Baldrey and Leech’s imaginative craft ideas with easy to follow instructions are sure to spark your creativity. .Everything Alice is sure to be a book that you reach for often as you plan whimsical, fanciful tea parties for your family and friends." — Tea in Texas magazine "The book that has had me personally overcome with joy this year is the luscious Everything Alice .
