We have read this book A LOT in our house over the years! It is a cute rhyming story that has your kids counting backwards from ten to one as the ten children in the story trick-or-treat through the neighborhood. One by one, a child leaves the story due to some Halloween mishap which leaves one trick-or-treater sleeping in her bed after a long night of gathering candy.
Peter lives on Pumpkin Hollow Farm with his Mimi and Papa. They grow several crops throughout the year, but Peter’s favorites are the pumpkins. One year, Peter ends up tending to a very special pumpkin. He nurtures it and watches it grow and grow. When the farm opens up to the public, that special pumpkin’s vine is so far away from the others that no one picks it. That is until a very special someone comes looking for a very special pumpkin and Peter knows exactly what to do with his pumpkin. Very cute story of giving and friendship and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the illustrations.
Duck and Goose decide they want a pumpkin after they see that a friend has one. They look in a log, in a leaf pile, up in a tree, in a pond and on top of a stump and they still can’t find one. That’s when their friend suggests they look in the pumpkin patch. A very cute first book about Halloween or fall.
If your kids like a mystery, then they will enjoy helping Albert and the gang solve riddles that lead them to the missing pumpkins.
Super duper cute book with advice on picking a name for your monster, how much to feed your monster, games to play with your monster and traveling with your monster just to name a few. This is an adorable book and the illustrations are a hoot, too.
Once a month, when the moon is full, a little boy takes over his dad’s barber shop and trims up the locks of monsters, vampires, Medusa, mummies, Frankenstein’s bride, zombies and even a skeleton. This is SUCH a cute book!
Littlebat and his mother live in the rafters of a library. He would also like to get a closer look at the pictures in the books that are being read to the children, but his mother has warned him that it is not safe for him to go to storytime. One day Littlebat leans a little too far out of his protective hiding place and falls right into storytime. You can imagine how well that went over! He does manage to fly back to safety and his mother tells him that there is one time of year that it might be safe for him to listen to storytime. He waits all through the spring and through the summer until fall arrives when he manages to make himself part of the decorations.
A very simple cumulative tale with vivid illustrations that takes the reader through Halloween night with a mouse, a jack-o-lantern, a bat, an owl, a dog, a cat and a child dressed up as a ghost.
Cinderhazel has the mean step-sisters and a godwitch. She also doesn’t have any way to get to the ball, but when her broom breaks, she gets there on a flying vacuum. There is also a prince-Prince Filthy Alarming. They end up living filthily ever after. This is a very cute story for all of those kids who are tired of the original version or are just looking for a cute and funny story.
A cute and simple story that could lead to lots of interaction, movement and downright silliness. Legs are for marching, feet are for stomping, eyes are for peeking…but all of the illustrations are Halloween-themed like a stomping Frankenstein, a marching pirate and a peeking mummy. Perfect for those kiddos who are just beginning to understand what Halloween is all about.
