7. There’s a Monster in Your Book

There’s a Monster in Your Book by Tom Fletcher

This one isn’t Halloween, but it’s a monster book. so I put it in here this is Then There’s a Monster in your book and I picked this up when I was visiting Myrtle Beach this past summer just to kind of get a different book but this book is so cute there are a couple of other ones there’s like there’s an elf for Christmas I’m gonna pick up there’s a dragon all that kind of stuff there are different things in here.

but basically, it is this little cute monster guy and it’s telling you to shake the book turn the page you have to tickle his feet or tickle the monster you have to blow the monster away just different things your child can interact with the book you have to wiggle the book things like that and it’s just fun to kind of imagine there is a little monster in your book and you have to do all these things.

so my baby was really obsessed with this book he’s kind of grown out of it we were very obsessed with this book if you know what I mean now we’re obsessed with spooky Pookie and spooky Wealth on the bus but this one is another really cute book if you are wanting a more interactive book with your little one.

8. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown by Kara McMahon

a classic book is It Great pumpkin charlie brown they also have the tv show as well but this is the book and it’s just kind of a paperback book and this one I’ve read this a couple times my baby definitely has longer paragraphs and words in it if you can see but it goes along with the same storyline if you haven’t heard of this book or the series before.

basically, it’s a charlie brown Halloween there’s a great pumpkin that I think Linus wants that brings presents and stuff and he waits for the great pumpkin and the pumpkin patch while Halloween parties going on so it’s a pretty classic story if you follow along with charlie brown things like that.

so I do read this book to my baby but it is probably towards the older side of it depends every now and then if you will sit and read the whole book but this is in our Halloween collection.

9. The Night Before Halloween

The Night Before Halloween by Natasha Wing

The one I love in this series this is Natasha Wings the night before Halloween she also has a lot of other nights before preschool night before kindergarten night before Thanksgiving, and not before the fourth of July, she has all the nights before loving them.

it’s the same tune you can really ask the same tune as it was the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a mouse but she changes the words a bit for whatever the theme is this one is like Twas the night before Halloween and all through the house all the creatures were stirring except for the mouse.

and this one is just really cute because it is kind of all the monsters living in the house getting ready for Halloween kids are getting dressed up for Halloween and all that kind of stuff so I like the books that you kind of already know the tune to read it in your head or has kind of like a song kind of thing my baby likes this one as well so acute kind of more mature book I guess but little kids like it as well.

10. One Leaf, Two Leaves, Count with Me!

One Leaf, Two Leaves, Count with Me! by John Micklos Jr.

A fall book we actually got from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. This is the one-leaf two-leaf count with me and my baby has been obsessed with this one because it has two leaves on the tree.

so I tell my baby to count two leaves and then basically the leaves grow and it’s springtime but then it’s fall time and they all change color and fall and then you count down from 10 leaves to one they become a bed just different things like that.

this goes through all the seasons kind of teaching the child kind of the different ways a tree kind of grows and falls and all that kind of stuff for the seasons so pretty cute I use this kind of in my fall Halloween material because I mean leaves changing I guess it would be good for spring too but this book is with my fall stuff right.

11. Shake Dem Halloween Bones

Shake Dem Halloween Bones by Mike Reed

one of my favorite books and my baby’s favorite books as well I have mentioned this in my mommy toddler favorites from this past month I’ll link it in the cards but this is the shape dem Halloween bones and this is more like a hip hop Halloween ball kind of thing it has like the shake your sillies out theme song kind of but different words and it has.

it’s just a good book with all the different main kinds of fairy tale character characters you have Little Red Riding Hood Jack and Beanstalk kind of different illustrations for diversity in your little one’s library well there are Goldilocks and the Three Bears

but it’s just another one of those sing-along kinds of songs you know the tune in the back of your head and just a different kind of storyline they’re all kind of getting ready for the Halloween ball and it’s a fun cute book something different to add to your child’s library.

12. Little Blue Truck’s Halloween

Little Blue Truck’s Halloween by Alice Schertle

and then the last one which a lot of y’all especially if you have boy toddlers have heard of is the Little Blue Truck series The Little Blue Truck has a bunch of different books there’s the Little Blue Truck like the original Goes to Town Springtime Christmas all that kind of stuff we pretty much now have all of them and this is the Halloween one.

so all of the animals are all dressed up like this one is a little duck and these are left in flat books so it’s me the ballerina quacks is the duck it’s me so it’s just a fun book to kind of be like oh what is this oh it’s a cow what does the cow say moo and have the lift and flap as well.

so such a fun book these are thicker kinds of lifts and flaps too so these haven’t ripped on us yet and we got this last year this one’s a little bent but yeah this is a really cute book for your little one as well.
