Just placed holds at my library for Ten Little Mummies and Too Many Pumpkins. Thanks for this amazing list!

I have far too many Halloween books already (is that even possible?) and now I’m adding more to that collection. Mummies! Pirate Halloween books! Just when I think you’ve covered all of the wonderful spooky books out there, you’ve done it again!

I'm such a fan of Philip Yates (his rhyme is sublime) and G. Brian Karas, what a team! Thanks for the heads up I'll find this one for sure, and love the other suggestions, too. Would love to recommend Frank Was a Monster Who Wanted to Dance and Creepy Carrots as two other fan favorites for Halloween. Thanks, as always, for the suggestions.

Yes! Just requested all of these that are new to me and it is great reminder to get my (overflowing) bin of Halloween books out. Too Many Pumpkins is one of my all-time favorites.

Halloween is a holiday that, prior to having children, I completely ignored. I'd turn the lights off and either hide and watch a movie or go out to dinner. I've done a 180 since having kids and I LOVE this entire month.

I kind of think a poop would be hilarious. Is it too late to revert? ;)

We have a green butterfly and, no surprise, a Taylor Swift (Reputation era), which has me sewing many red sequin snakes onto a figure skating unitard. The things we do...

This is so delightful and your family’s costume ideas cracked me up πŸ˜… These books look great and that Frankenstein sandwich one sounds like a hoot. You brought many smiles with this newsletter β™₯️

Hi! Have you heard of The Skull by Jon Klassen? Or There's a Ghost in this House by Oliver Jeffers? Both would be great additions to the Halloween book list!
