Halloween Picture Book: How to Scare a Ghost

 

My new picture books haven't arrived at the library yet. Hopeful for a delivery next week.

Here's a fun one I read last year:

In order to scare a ghost - you have to find one. But what happens when the ghost is already there and you don't see it?

I loved the illustrations in this book. I love how they ghost became a new friend of the two kids. Such a fun Halloween read.

Christmas in July: Christmas Picture Books

It's Christmas in July here at YA Book Nerd.

Because of the pandemic, last year's Christmas book order at the library took longer to come in.  So I didn't get the chance to take them home and read them first like usual. And thus didn't get my picture book Christmas fix. But now I've gotten a chance to read them and wanted to share some of my favorites. Stay tuned all month long for new to me picture books.

 

Christmas is SO close but yet so far away. A young boy keeps waiting and counting down the days.

A really fun picture book with lots of funny moments and holiday traditions. And the illustrations are magical too.

Could you actually catch Santa so you can pepper him with questions?

A funny story about ways to trap Santa...that just might work. Clever and charming.

Vegetables in Underwear is a huge hit at my library, so of course I needed this book. And it's very similar and very silly and cute.
