Holiday books are a bit of an obsession, I get a new Halloween book every year.
Our top favorites are:
They’re Coming! (Love the illustrations and magical feeling, probably our most favorite Halloween book of all!)
https://a.co/d/9IoX16MToo Many Pumpkins (This book is so beautiful, both the illustrations and the message)
https://a.co/d/dYIj60eThe Halloween Kid (such a fun read aloud)
https://a.co/d/bvzZTodThere’s a Ghost in This House (I adore Oliver Jeffers and this is so cute!)
https://a.co/d/7UYT8eVGustavo the Shy Ghost
https://a.co/d/9SADSEmBonaparte Falls Apart
https://a.co/d/5Tu2cezThe Old Lady who was not Afraid of Anything
https://a.co/d/b2sBd0iThe Spooky Wheels on the Bus (we read this so many times when my kids were little that it is literally falling apart).
https://a.co/d/a4TSQfo These are a couple of our favorites.
Froggy’s Halloween
Albert’s Halloween: The Case of the Stolen Pumpkins
- jon—i love the art on Froggy’s — going to pick that one up. thanks for the recommendation!
- rachel—Ditto to @jon. I didn’t know there was a Froggy book for Halloween, but it looks great. I love Froggy books.

I guess I should also put down what we have so far!
Aaaarrgghh! Spider!: https://a.co/d/2rP2eDH. Cute book, lovely illustrations. My kids especially liked it when they were little.
Turkey Trick or Treat: https://a.co/d/1pa2yep Probably my favorite in the Turkey series.
Pig the Monster: https://a.co/d/esAF3Ey It’s ok…although my kids love the whole Pig the Pug series and think it’s fantastic.
The Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat: https://a.co/d/cPale38. We love all things Berenstain Bears.
Room on the Broom: https://a.co/d/5ze44Sv Julia Donaldson. Enough said.The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: https://a.co/d/0osXGVf Based on the Disney short film
We’re Going on a Goon Hunt: https://a.co/d/58InymL Also one that personally I think is just ok, but my kids loved finding the goon on each page when they were little.
- jon—“bear hunt” is a big favorite in our house, so i’ve gotta give “goon hunt” a try.
