Halloween Books
With Halloween looming in next month's shadows, there is no better way to get
your child interested in reading than with fun stories about monsters, dragons,
mummies, and fairies. These four books make spooky creatures seem fun and
friendly, which allows your kids to keep the bedbugs tight without the fright.
And who knows - maybe one of these stories will inspire a winning Halloween
costume or spark a party idea!
I Need My Monster
by Amanda Noll
When Ethan's under the bed monster, Gabe, goes away for a week-long fishing
trip, he puts out the call for a substitute monster. But when Herbert's panting
isn't scary enough, Ralph's brushed fur and shiny claws are too well groomed,
and Cynthia is much too girly to cause any harm, Ethan wishes for his nose
whistling friend. As he meets many monsters that just aren't up to snuff, Ethan
has trouble falling asleep. When Gabe finally returns, we see that sometimes the
scary things under the bed are the only ones worth having.
Dragon Pizzeria
by Mary Morgan
Providing the perfect combination of peppy monsters and pepperoni pizza,
Dragon Pizzeria takes kids on a journey through Fairy Tale Land with all of the
gum drops, porridge, and fire breath that they can imagine. As BeBop and Spike,
two friendly dragon friends, open their own pizzeria, their clients begin to
include fairy tale favorites like Jack and his beanstalk, the Wicked Witch, and
three hungry bears. Join in with the pizza making fun as these two dragons
rollerskate, ride, and rocket their way to far off destinations with funky pizza
ingredients.
The Flim-Flam Fairies
by Alan Katz
If your little one is intrigued by the gross, enthralled by the disgusting,
and tempted by the foul, they will love The Flim Flam Fairies, a book comprised
of the yuckiest, dirtiest, and smelliest things around. In an effort to disprove
the Tooth Fairy, the Belly Button Lint Fairy, the Ear Wax Fairy, the Snot Fairy,
and other unpleasant flying friends humorously advise putting boogers, toenail
clippings, and other stinky collections underneath a pillow. With a wholesome
ending that will teach any child the real way to earn a few tooth dollars, The
Flim Flam Fairies is a great, funny find.
The Runaway Mummy
by Michael Rex
When mommy's little mummy decides that he would rather run off than stay with
his mean mum, magical creatures are created that will delight any young one.
From dragons and ravenous plants to gargoyles and huge gorillas, this play on
Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd's famous book The Runaway Bunny will have
you and your little monster laughing the whole way through. With colorful
illustrations and fun quotes along the way, The Runaway Mummy will show just how
great a rotten mummy and a loving mommy can be.
