Picture Books for Halloween
Fall picture books are some of my favorite as they always involve some classics and some newer characters. This not new but still a favorite among kids is Pete the Cat Falling for Autumn, talks about corn mazes, hay rides, and apple picking and all the joys of fall. Sweet and Spooky Halloween is another favorite as the princess dress up and explore Halloween. Not technically Halloween but it’s a monster book so I’m including because its just so darn cute and funny, The Monster at the End of This Book.
A classic book based off the Peanuts gang is It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. And, would this even be my place to share with you if I didn’t share a train book?! Thomas and the Runaway Pumpkins is based on the fall pumpkin crop missing from Island of Sodor. Snowman at Halloween is about an early snowfall.
Have you ever read about the Crayons this book is about the crayons Trick or Treat and the magic to say when its not Boo. Another classic and who can say no to the big red dog, this book is about Clifford’s Halloween. Another classic with the big red dog is about some bears like Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat. This was one of my favorite as a kid with Clifford.
