Monster-rific Books

Halloween is fast approaching which means that I am bombarded with requests for books for the holiday.  Here are my favorite monster picture books for young children . . . .

Skeleton Hiccups by Margery Cuyler
Ghost tries to help Skeleton get rid of the hiccups.

Bedtime for Monsters by Ed Vere
A hungry monster seeks a different type of bedtime snack.

The Skeleton in the Closet by Alice Schertle
A scary skeleton terrorizes a boy in his bedroom while it searches his closet for clothes to wear.

Zombie in Love by Kelly DiPucchio
Mortimer, a zombie, is looking for love, but when all of his attempts to locate a sweetheart fail, Mortimer decides to place an ad in the newspaper.

The Monsters' Monster by Patrick McDonnell
Grouch, Grump, and little Gloom 'n' Doom spend much of their time arguing over who is the "biggest and baddest" until they build a monster together that turns out to be very different that what they expect.
