This is a great list of Halloween books! We have the 10 trick or treaters- a counting book. It is so much fun to count through the story.
Love this list! My daughters get frightened easily, but the harmless ghost one looks adorable!
My kids are easy to scare as well. The 100 Ghost book is super cute and does not frighten at all.
Great resource for littles!! My 10 yr old used to scare so easy, so it’s great to have a list to go to for little ones who scare easy. Yay!!
I’m glad you find it useful. I had trouble finding books that we really enjoyed with less frightening characters and these are our favorites.
What a great list of books! My boys are teenagers now, but I tutor and love using seasonal stories. Thanks!
So glad you can find use for them! I hope you enjoy
