Board Books: Halloween

Just a few board books perfect for Halloween:

Counting down with textured pumpkins that's adorable. I love the ending.

* I will probably use this one in a fall storytime.

One boy is getting ready for Halloween, he's created a teal pumpkin for their door. Teal signifies the house is safe for people with allergies. The end shows all the fun items from the night's haul. This board book is a great introduction to allergies and Halloween. 

A Halloween board book based on Oh Christmas Tree song. This book is charming and illustrations are lovely. 

This alphabet book shares all the Halloween goodness. 

This is another fun book to read aloud. 

Another fun Bizzy Bear books - this might be one spooky house I could visit. It's the perfect place for a Halloween event. 

A pop-up story about the cars of monsters. I love the bumper stickers on the cars. There's a lot to look at here.

Picture Book Wednesday: Halloween Books

A few Halloween books: picture books and board books

Are there tricks or treats for these three friends at the Halloween party? 

A cute board book with slides dealing spooky and fun. 

In Ireland, turnips were used to scare a trickster spirit named Jack. But in American, there aren't any turnips, but Lila can't tell her siblings that. Life in America is different - crowded and noisy. Lila meets Julia and together, they think pumpkins might be the answer. 

I did not know Halloween started from Irish immigrants. 

A little girl is super excited for Halloween. 

She does all the traditional things: carve the pumpkins, decorating the house, trick or treating, and busting a move at a party. This rhyming story will get anyone into the Halloween spirit. This is the third book in this picture book series. I can't wait to see what's next in this series. I loved the ending. 

* Book sent for review

What do dinosaurs do at Halloween?

This is another fun book in this dinosaur series - lots of rhyming and lots of funny moments. 

Top Ten Tuesday: Books with Hype

 This week's topic is all about books with hype. Here are some books I read this year. 

This was cute - but I wanted a little more from it.

Everyone seems to love it.

One of my favorite reads this year!

The book lives up to the cover.

Perfection! 

My second Freida book - and not my last

I didn't think this would live up to the hype - but I was so very wrong.

Looking forward to book 3! 

I had no problem believing this one would live up to the Hype. It's Mr. Schu writing it...

Totally amazing! Loved every moment of it. 

Books that Should be bigger/more talked about:

Taylor Swift meets What a Girl Wants

Non-stop action/survival story

Ariel plus musician 

SO heart-wrenchingly good.
