Halloween Books and Movies for the Littles
Read them a spooky bedtime story, pop popcorn to watch movies & take silly pictures together 📸. My top picks here are Curious George “Boo Fest” & Alvin and the Chipmunks “Meet the Wolfman.” My kiddos are getting older, I wish I had taken more pictures at 🎃 Halloween time.
This is such a cute book. Its fun for the teacher or parent to read and the kiddos love it. Pre-schoolers love the predictability of the book. After you read it a few times they will “beat you to the punch line.” (affiliate link)

Maybe I am a child at heart but I love this book series. The “How to Catch A ….” series is fun to read to younger elementary kids. Its best for age 3-7ish, so toddler to first graders, are the ones that would enjoy this the most. (affiliate link)
How to Catch a Witch
This book teaches a lesson that being different is okay. In Spookley's case he saves the day because he is different. Grab some popcorn 🍿 and enjoy this with your little ones. (affiliate link)

Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest (Video 2013)
This a good one for age 7-10ish in my opinion. It’s cute. The brothers think there is a wolf man living across the street. Theodore starts to change in more than one way. This mingles in with the boys doing a “play” at school. (affiliate link)
Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman (Video 2000)
The first Hotel Transylvania is my favorite. The grandma that looks so small and innocent “I didn’t do that.” It puts a friendly spin on some otherwise scary Halloween characters. I also like old castles so I like the setting. (affiliate link)

I have watched teachers read this to groups of kiddos. It’s so fun to read and the kids are engaged. The teacher makes the sounds and kids copy. The kids love the predictable sounds and all kids want to be able to say “I’m not scared…either.” (affili...
