Best HALLOWEEN BOOKS

I love reading Halloween books, at least the funny ones.  I seriously look forward to Halloween just so I can read these books to my kids.  Here are some of my faves.

The Purple Crayon and The Carrot Seed

How can you not love these books!  So sweet and simple.  Definitely should be part of your collection.

 

The Littlest Matryoshka

The story and pictures are endearing and who doesn't love nesting dolls!  I bought both of these for my daughter for Christmas and she loved it (and so do I).

Suddenly!

This book is fun and silly!

I remember my niece saying the word "Suddenly!"  before she was 18 months old.  It was so cute and suprising to hear such a big expressive word coming from just a little thing.  Books help children, even babies, develop their vocabulary, both spoken and written, I've seen it in my own kids.

"Old-Timey" Books

Goodnight Moon is a classic and even gets me sleepy if I read it at 2 pm or 9 pm.

Pat the Bunny has been around since 1940.  It's fun and amazing how fast a baby will start to interact with the book and start waving bye-bye at the end.

Richard Scarry Books

Richard Scarry Books are so fun, if you have never tried one - you must.  Find yourself a child 3, maybe 4 years or older and have fun looking a all the details.  Cars and Trucks... is one book I grew up, it's my favorite of his and I love sharing this book with my kids. Love that Goldbug!

 I also like the Please and Thank you - great to read when you feel your children need a little dose of manners.

And What Do People Do All Day is a fun exploring and beginning to understand the working world.  Great preschool book.

Skippyjon Jones

 I love those books that just beg to be read aloud - and this is one of them.  I love trying out my Spanish accent, which is terrible I would add, but fun to try out, and my kids don't know any different.  This character is truly a character - naughty, lovable, and brave.  This is perfect for little boys.
