Halloween Books

My mom always had a small stack of books she would pull out of storage for each holiday. I loved this tradition! I bought a few of our first Halloween Books this year. I also rented a bunch from the library for a bigger selection. The pictures and descriptions below are from Amazon. Here are our favorites:

"Froggy tries to find just the right costume for Halloween and although his trick-or-treating does not go as he had planned, he manages to enjoy himself anyway."

Froggy's Halloween: For some reason, this book was Easton's VERY favorite this year. He loves the part where Froggy puts on his costume and says "Ta-da!" We read this book every day once, sometimes twice this month. Click HERE to purchase online.

"The witch and her cat are happily flying through the sky on a broomstick when the wind picks up and blows away the witch's hat, then her bow, and then her wand!  Luckily, three helpful animals find the missing items, and all they want in return is a ride on the broom.  But is there room on the broom for so many friends?  And when disaster strikes, will they be able to save the witch from a hungry dragon?"

Room on the Broom: Easton really liked this book and it was my very favorite of our selection. I wish I would have spent the extra money to get the hard cover. Click HERE to purchase online.

 "Ten ghosts, a witch, and a haunted house make this Halloween countdown a spooky treat!"

Ten Timid Ghosts: This book was my next favorite Halloween Book of our selection this year. I love the clever witch and the different ways she tries to scare the ghosts out. It's a good book to review numbers as well. Click HERE to purchase online.

"The littlest trick-or-treaters can lift the flaps to count their way through a spooky old house . . . but they had better be prepared for a few surprises! With a die-cut cover, adorable illustrations, and a flap on every page, this sturdy little board book is the perfect Halloween gift for trick-or-treaters everywhere."

One, Two, Boo!: Easton loves to open flap books, so this was a fun book for him. It also is a good book to review numbers. Click HERE to purchase this book online.

"What's the best way to help a skeleton get over his hiccups?"

Skeleton Hiccups: Easton really loved this book. It's short and kept his attention. After I read it to him, he wanted me to read it again and again. Click HERE to purchase this book online.

"This Halloween adaptation of the classic song "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" combines thrills, chills, and a familiar tune for children who like to be spooked-just a little. Flashlights in hand, the two brave kids in the story travel through a dark forest, a foggy swamp, and over a creaky bridge, until they arrive at an eerie old haunted house. But as soon as they spot the ghosts they're looking for, they turn and run, right back the way they came, until they're safe inside their cozy house."

We're going on a Ghost Hunt: Easton really loves the book "We're going on a Bear Hunt" so I knew he'd be excited about this one! After reading this book, I hid ghosts around the house and we went on a ghost hunt with flashlights to find them. Click HERE to purchase this book online.

"Filled with uproarious illustrations, a beloved classic gets a kindhearted send-up in this utterly monsterized parody from Michael Rex, creator of the New York Times bestselling Goodnight Goon. This is The Runaway Bunny like you've never seen it before. Kids will dig the vast array of terrible monsters, but parents will love the sweet sentiment. A fabulous Halloween treat for all those little monsters!"

The Runaway Mummy: This book is very similar to "Runaway Bunny". These types of books aren't my favorite, but Easton liked it and was entertained by the pictures. Click HERE to purchase this book online.
