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.
