Here is a cute read aloud of the book if you haven't heard the story before.
I have two other favorites to read the week leading up to Halloween. The first one is The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Linda Williams. I love the repetitive, rhythmic text. The kids always enjoy it, too.
My other favorite is one that is older, but I had never heard of it until last year. How I missed this book by two of my favorite author/illustrators I do not know! It is an amazing way to introduce point of view. The narrator tells of the scary sounds and sights on Halloween night, but the illustrations look totally harmless. It isn't until you reach the end of the book that you realize that the narrator has been a mother cat hiding with her kittens under the front porch. They were scared by the trick or treaters coming to their house to get candy.
I have book studies available for both of these titles available for purchase in TPT shop. You can view them by clicking on the pictures.
Have you read all of these? What are your favorite books to read at the end of October?
