The three Halloween books in this quick Halloween Kidlit roundup each feature a party and exploration that is both spooky and fun! If you are looking for a read aloud for story time before Halloween add these to your library checkout list. Thank you to Candlewick Press and Bloomsbury Children’s for the gifted copies!
The Haunted Scavenger Hunt: A Spooktacular Storybook by Steve Patschke, illustrated by Roland Garrigue
This is an absolutely fun read aloud for those readers who like tension in the story. I love how the pattern of the story follows that of a traditional campfire scary tale. The illustrations match the spookiness too! (In a kid-friendly way) Also if you know a Halloween birthday baby, this is a great gift for them too, whether they are young or old.
Gustavo The Shy Ghost by Flavia Z. Drago
This book is for those having a hard time making friends. Maybe you feel invisible like Gustavo does, but sometimes you have to overcome your fear of rejection and reach out to others to start a friendship. A great gift for someone who celebrates Dia de los Muertos.
Witch Cat by Lucy Rowland, illustrated by Laura Hughes
With the rhythm of a nursery rhyme song, Pippin the witch’s cat strikes out on an adventure to explore the world. He wants to find out what kind of cat he really is and has all kinds of adventures, but comes to the conclusion that there’s no place like home. The rhyming makes this a really fun read aloud. Great pic for story time!
