I have been totally slacking and I apologize. This month has been very hectic and I am now in the middle of my school's book fair so the chaos continues!
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays so whenever I see a fun Halloween book, I must have it! This year we read some new and old classics.
My absolute favorite from Julia Donaldson is Room on the Broom.
Netflix has the BEST cartoon to go along with this story - it is adorable!
Crankenstein by Samantha Berger shows how all little children become a Crankenstein every once in a while. I let the kids make sound effects and they love the grumpy pictures.
Shivery Shades of Halloween by Mary McKenna Siddals has every creepy, crawly description of all things spooky. While I may have left out some words like bloody and snotty, the kids didn't seem to mind!
Monster Mash by David Catrow is word for word the lyrics from the song. Since I totally ran out of time, I didn't get the chance to play the song and follow along in the book with the kids, but that just means I'll get to use it next year!
Happy Halloween!!
I'm so FRIGHTfully pleased to find my SHIVERY SHADES OF HALLOWEEN among the SPOOKtacular books you chose to share with your kids this year! Many FANGkS! ;-)
