Great Halloween-themed Books.
Halloween isn’t just an excuse for kids to dress up and eat lots of candy. It’s also an opportunity for parents to encourage reading by picking up some books with spooky themes. Before you go door to door in search of treats, take your young ones to the library or bookstore in search of haunting reads, like:
- Runaway Mummy: A Petrifying Parody by Michael Rex
Pair this adventuresome book with the author’s other terrifying take on a childhood classic,Goodnight Goon, for an eerie bedtime read.
