Halloween Books for Kids

We love to read at our house. I've read to Bean nearly every night since she was born. As a result, we have a lot of books. When it comes to Halloween stories, we have quite the collection. Here are a few of my favorites.

Pumpkin Light by David Ray - This story has the most beautiful pictures. It's the story of a young boy named Angus who's favorite day is Halloween. One night, Angus stays out to late and gets into trouble with an enchanted scarecrow and a magical pumpkin. This is one Halloween he'll never forget.




The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Linda D. Williams - This story is just a little bit spooky. A little old lady keeps hearing things behind her as she walks home. Every time she looks
back, she sees another piece of clothing following her home making eerie noises, but she's not afraid. Another fun story with lots of beautiful pictures.



Beneath the Ghost Moon by Jane Yolen - This rhyming story tells the tale of a house full of mice and the creeps who try to destroy their fun. The mice fight the creeps to win back their house and allow them to celebrate the Ghost Eve Ball. A fun book to read with an exciting story.


Halloween Bugs: A Trick or Treat Pop Up Book by David A. Carter - I love the Bugs books. Pop Up books have always been a family favorite and, although simply written, the pop ups are hilarious! We love finding the bugs hiding behind whimsical doors. My favorite is the cemetery at the end.

Angelina's Halloween by Katharine Holabird - Angelina and Alice have made wonderful, delicate firefly costumes for Halloween. Angelina's little sister Polly wants to be a firefly, too, but Angelina insists she's too little. After Polly decides to be a ghost, they go out Trick or Treating, and Polly gives Angelina quite a scare.
