Initial thoughts: Well-thought out organization of recipes, including fruity pops, creamy pops fancy pops and grown-up pops. Basically, there's something for everyone. I liked that there was a conversion table for the measurements at the end of the book. Makes it much easier for non-US readers to convert everything. So far I've tried the creamy coconut pop. It's a simple recipe that I could've come up with myself, but I might not have thought to include flaked or desiccated coconut to lighten it a little. Will try some more recipes and update my review accordingly.

This is perhaps my favorite "pops" recipe book to date. Divided into four sections: "Fruity Pops", "Creamy Pops", "Fancy Pops", and "Grown-Up Pops". The "grown-up section" pops include liquer--so count me out on them-- unless someone can advise on how I can adapt them to 'virgin' pops. :) As for the others--I can't wait to try them!

I like this Popsicle book because all of the recipes are incredibly simple. While I tend to have a preference for Mexican style paletas, I really appreciate that this book has a variety of styles including cake-inspired pops and also "adult" Popsicles with alcohol in them. Basically, there is something to please everyone!

This book has great pictures and good easy to follow instructions. It has a few creative recipes though the majority are pretty simple and classic. Overall this good for finding basic popsicle recipes but if you are looking for more unique ideas you may not find as many as you hoped.

Some of these looked rather tastey but others not so much. The book was put together and flowed well. Very easy and simple directions to follow.
