Monster Mash
Dancing monsters and prancing goblins jump off the page in this funky counting book by designer Mimi Maxwell. Children of all ages will delight in identifying and adding the monsters that darken each successive page. The charming rhymes, coupled with the positive message that monsters in the night aren't so scary after all, makes this a book that will transcend the Halloween season.
Ogre Fun
One sluggish afternoon young Gronny decides to scare up some fun for his ogre friends and family. Instead, he catches a contagious case of yawns from a deceptively safe-looking creature in a playground, and he brings them back to the ogre homestead, where no one has ever seen a yawn before. The yawns spread like crazy and inspire ogre hysterics.
Mercy Watson: Princess in Disguise
Can visions of treats entice a porcine wonder to wear her princess costume? Hold on for some Halloween havoc, Mercy Watson-style!
Toopy and Binoo: Funny Halloween
Toopy and Binoo celebrate Halloween together. The result is...funny, of course!
Shivery Shades of Halloween
A rollicking, rhyming Halloween romp--in every color! What color is Halloween? Why, it's as green as an "eerie glow, evil grin, vile brew, clammy skin," as white as "cobwebs clinging, a misty trail, a skull, a spook, a face gone pale . . ." Children will learn their colors as they follow a cute little creature on his adventure through haunted halls, moonlit forests . . . perhaps even a Halloween party!
Happy Halloween, Witch's Cat!
A little girl believes her mother is a good witch, and she is a special witch's cat. Together, they're out to find the perfect Halloween costume. But what could be better than being a witch's cat? To create the whimsical world of Witch's Cat, author-illustrator Harriet Muncaster handcrafted miniature three-dimensional scenes using paper, foil, fabric, and other materials, then photographed them for a truly magical look.
Zip! Zoom! on a Broom
One goes zip, two go zoom. Three witches glide from room to room. So begins this witchy counting story. Counting up from 1 to 10 and back down again, ten witches jump on a broom--and then fall off one by one! Written in pitch-perfect rhyme, and full of fun read-aloud energy that will have kids memorizing lines and clamoring to read the book again and again, this book hits the mash-up sweet spot between an important concept and Halloween fun!
Herbert's First Halloween
Herbert is not sure about his first Halloween--but fortunately, his father is there to help him prepare! Together, they make a tiger costume, carve a pumpkin, and fill up a bucket with candy. And by the end of the night, Herbert debuts his triumphant tiger roar. A sweet introduction to Halloween and being brave, this book is sure to delight the youngest of trick-or-treaters.
Trick Arr Treat
"Swashbuckling trick-or-treaters stomp and clomp through their neighhborhood in search of treasure--aka Halloween candy--but they must be back before dark, because the pirate chief's mom said so"
Fright club
Only the scariest monsters are allowed in Fright Club (members include Fran K. Stein and Sandy Witch). So when a cute little bunny announces he wants to join everybody laughs at him. Poor old bunny. If only they knew you don't have to be a monster to be scary. Perhaps he should show them.
I Need My Monster is written by Amanda Noll, illustrated by Howard McWilliam and read by Rita Moreno.

Το Halloween πραγματοποιείται στις 31 Οκτωβρίου. Είναι μια στιγμή που οι άνθρωποι ντύνονται με κοστούμια, ξεγελούν με διάφορα τεχνάσματα τους γύρω τους και φτιάχνουν jack-o'-lantern φανάρια από κολοκύθες όπως δείχνει η εικόνα. Τα φαντάσματα και οι μάγισσες είναι μερικές από τις πιο δημοφιλείς φορεσιές των παιδιών που πηγαίνουν από σπίτι σε σπίτι λέγοντας το γνωστό "Trick-or-treat!" Η ανταπόκριση είναι συνήθως γλυκά και καραμέλες. Η προέλευση του Halloween χρονολογείται από πολλά αρχαία φεστιβάλ που πραγματοποιήθηκαν το φθινόπωρο.
