FAVORITE HALLOWEEN BOOKS FOR KIDS
I have created a list of 13 favorite Halloween themed books and activities...and some are great even if you don't 'celebrate' Halloween in the classroom. In fact, many include great lessons on character and inclusiveness!
THE HALLO-WIENER
Poor Oscar gets teased by the other dogs about his silly Hallo-Wiener costume. Even though they don't deserve it, Oscar chooses to be kind and help the other dogs when a 'monster' scares them on Halloween.
SPOOKLEY THE SQUARE PUMPKIN
Spookley looks different than the other pumpkins in the patch- he's square! He gets teased, yet chooses to help the others when they are in trouble. The pumpkins learn a lesson in celebrating differences!
THE LITTLE OLD LADY WHO WAS NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING
No matter what The Little Old Lady hears and sees on her evening walk...she's not afraid of anything!
THE UGLY PUMPKIN
The Ugly Pumpkin is never picked for Halloween, because he looks so different from the other pumpkins. An 'ugly duckling' story featuring pumpkins/squash!
CREEPY CARROTS
Jasper Rabbit LOVES to eat carrots, and helped himself...until the carrots came up with a creepy plan to keep him away!
LITTLE BOO
Little Boo wants very much to be scary, but needs to be patient until he grows up and becomes a jack-o-lantern!
ROOM ON THE BROOM
A story about a witch riding her broom...and adding passengers as she goes!
CLICK CLACK BOO
Farmer Brown hates Halloween, but the farm animals find a way to get him to come to their Halloween party in the barn!
JUNIE B JONES BOO AND I MEAN IT
Junie B. Jones doesn't like Halloween...there are so many things to be afraid of! So she decides to wear a scary costume to keep the creepy things away!
THE PUMPKIN PATCH PARABLE
A great book for religious schools that don't cover Halloween in the classroom. This book shows how Christians are like pumpkins...Jesus removes our 'yucky stuff' so our lights can shine!
WHERE'S MY MUMMY
Little Baby Mummy and Big Mama Mummy play a game of 'Hide and Shriek'. Your students will love the things he is, and is not, afraid of!
FRIGHT CLUB
The Fright Club is preparing for Halloween by getting ready for 'Operation Kiddie Scare'. Several guests show up at their clubhouse door, wanting to join the group. Are they scary enough?
BONE SOUP
The witches are hungry and decide to make some bone soup. But they need more ingredients. What yucky things will they gather for their soup as they ask their spooky neighbors for contributions?
