Book Description

30 Sep 2001
A smile is universal. And if there's one thing destined to bring a smile to faces the world over, it's The Inflatable Crown--as this one-of-a-kind, step-by-step guide to the most fabulous adornments ever to be put on a human head proves. Armed with a backpack full of balloons, a sturdy pump, a camera, and good intentions, balloon-twister Addi Somekh and photographer Charlie Eckert set out on an expedition that would take them to 34 countries around the world. Wherever they went, they brought joy and laughter, blowing, twisting, and turning balloons into tiaras, crowns, and Master Blasters. But readers of The Inflatable Crown don't need to travel any further than their own living rooms. This kit brings together 30 durable balloons, the best professional quality pump on the market, as well as a book filled with pictures from the authors' adventures and clear instructions for 14 magnificent crowns. Whatever the age, The Inflatable Crown's perfect for parties, show-and-tell, and anywhere an element of fun is required.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD Children under 8 yrs. can choke or suffocate on uninflated or broken balloons. Adult supervision required. Keep uninflated balloons from children. Discard broken balloons at once.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pumped Up! 27 Aug 2001
By Jill Goldesberry - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
It's more than a book. It's more than a toy. It's a glimpse of our world at play. The inclusion of stunning photographs, from cultures and places that most readers have never visited, qualifies this as a "coffee table" book. We have all seen clowns who manipulate balloons into the shapes of dogs or other animals. But, hats? The authors of this book traveled around the world making "crowns" out of balloons, and photographing the people wearing them. Illustrated, step-by-step instructions are given that allow any person with a little creativity to make some fantastic designs. The Balloon Hat Kit provides hours of entertainment for ages 9 to 90. Readers are encouraged to participate in the art of making balloon hats because 30 balloons and a pump are included in the kit. The "Seven Reasons to Make Balloon Hats" will win over even the most doubtful. What I like most about this book is its promotion of the concept that all people of the world are more alike than different. The photos prove that the authors achieved their goal of uniting people across the global through laughter and a sense of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Downright fun! 3 Aug 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great gift for any age. I got this book and kit for my 44th Birthday and did I have a ball with it. The book itself is beautifully photographed. It is amazing to see where the authors went and who they shared their wonderful, creative talents with. Even if you don't want to make balloon hats the book is a coffee table must. The kit part is loads of fun. The directions are easy to understand and within minutes we were making wonderful, goofy, silly hats, including my 5 year old son and his friends. A gift that will bring lightheartedness and lots of laughter and fun to all. I suggest buying extra balloons, once you get started you won't want to stop.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book put a smile on my face! 3 April 2003
By Bookworm Mom - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was having a terrible day and I came upstairs to go to bed and noticed the unopened Amazon box. This was a frivolous purchase and I was going to send it back, but the book is so original and beautiful, not to mention a good guide to making balloon hats. The authors went to far away places (Russia, Vietman, Kenya, Indian, Japan, just to name a few and made big beautiful hats for the people there and took pictures of them in them. It put a smile on my face just looking at the book! There are some excellent instructions with great pictures as well. I highly recommend this book for its instructions and originality!
