Awesome Halloween Books for kids

items Oooooooh! Halloween will be here before we know it and my kids love a good scary and funny story to get into the spooky season. Here's some of my favorites to keep kids entertained.
This is an all time Halloween classic from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. A tale of friendship and helping each other out in sticky situations.
Room on the Broom
A great rhyming counting book about a witch and ten ghosts. Great for younger kids and also ESL learners. They love the rhythm and finding (and counting) the ghosts on each page. Will the ghost seek revenge?
Ten Timid Ghosts
You might think a flap board book is just for toddlers, but trust me, I teach 7 year olds who LOVE flap books!
Where Is Baby's Pumpkin?
Jasper Rabbit loves pulling and eating carrots, but he starts to get paranoid when he thinks the carrots are after him! Great sepia toned illustrations, with orange highlights. I wonder if this would work as an Easter bunny story too?
Creepy Carrots!
A fun book, great for older kids, especially those who like to have tantrums. There’s a whole series of Crankenstein books, so check them out.
Crankenstein
Another classic story, with rhyming and repetitive language. Beneath the scary witch and her ghouly friends is a story of teamwork and working together.
Big Pumpkin
Do you live with a little person who can never decide what to wear at Halloween? This book is for them!

Boo doesn't know how to be scary and that's okay! On a Halloween night full of surprises, giggles, and the magic of being yourself, Boo sets off on a heartwarming adventure. Boo Who? is a not-so-spooky tale of kindness and courage.

Pick a Pumpkin: (A Rhyming Holiday Story of Autumn Traditions for Toddlers, Preschoolers, and 1-2 Graders)
A nice easy picture dictionary for Halloween. The illustrations are so fun too.
