5 Halloween Books to Read this Year

Video and book suggestions

Categories: Reading, Holidays ​ 

​Every holiday requires some appropriate reading. Here are 5 books that I will be reading with my kids this Halloween. My favorite on the list is the “Pumpkin Giant.” My grandmother had a copy and I would make her read it to me over and over again. It's a bizarre story from the 70’s. It is about two fat royal children who eat a pumpkin giant that they turned in pumpkin pie. It's a hard book to find, but I would love to add it to my collection. My 5-year old’s favorite is “Pete the Cat: Five Little Pumpkins." It’s short and sweet and from one of her favorite series, “Pete the Cat”. Below is a video of her attempting to read it. She doesn’t read yet, so it’s her reciting from memory. But, it's never too young to share a story. I am proud of her for trying.
