REVIEW BY KATHERINE H. WYRICK

Look good? It is! If you say you don't like JELL-O, not even a little bit, we have one thing to say to you: The truth, like JELL-O, is a slippery, jiggly thing.

The Joy of JELL-O Molds: 50 Festive Recipes from the Classic to the Contemporary reads like a family photo album of molds. (Remember cousin rainbow mold? He was sweet.) Here you'll find some old favorites, but you'll also discover molds updated for today's tastes. Get fancy, or keep it simple.

JELL-O makes you feel better when you're sick. It's versatile. It's a crowd pleaser. And, heck, it's just plain fun.
