Halloween reads for kids from Candlewick Press!


It is officially October which means it is almost time for Halloween! I love October, one of my favorite things to do is watch Halloween movies and read Halloween themed books. If  you are looking for some Spooktacular books to read with your kids, I have several great books to share with you to get you into the holiday mood.



Pick A Pumpkin by Patricia Thot (Retail $16.99)

This book features a family going on an adventure to the pumpkin patch to search for perfect pumpkins to carve into Jack-O-Lanterns. Our family loves going to the pumpkin patch each fall to enjoy the festivities and select pumpkins to bring home, so we really related to this book. It had reto illustrations that gave it a vintage Halloween vibe, I enjoyed reading this with the kids. The same author also has a winter themed book "Pick A Pine Tree".


Hide And Seek by Katie May Green (Retail $16.99)

Hide and Seek is a rather interesting and imaginative book. The book starts off inside of a estate that has several paintings on the walls that feature different children, when the sun goes down and the moon comes up the children come to life in the moonlight. When a number of the children climb out of their frames to play, they realize the twins are missing from their frame meaning it is time to play Hide and Seek. The book follows them on their hide and seek adventure all through the night, eventually they do find the twins and they all head home before sunrise.


Where's The Witch? by Ingela P. Arrhenius (Retail $8.99)

This book is made for children ages birth to three years. This is a felt flap book where your child will search for which flap the Witch is hiding under, along the way you'll find other spooky friends under the flaps. On the last page there is a mirror under the flap so your child gets the surprise of finding themselves in the book as well.

The Right One for Roderic by Violeta Noy (Retail $16.99)

Follow along with Roderic the ghost on his adventure to find something to wear that helps him stick out. He is the smallest ghost in his family and feels like he is invisible compared to everyone else, especially because they all wear the same white sheet. On his journey he tries on a variety of different things from hats, to table cloths and more determined to find something he likes. In the end he finds something he loves, and the ghosts tell him they love him how he is but they also like his outfit and they all start wearing fun clothing as well. I thought this was a really cute book that helps the reader realize they are perfect how they are!
