Let's Get Spooky

As Halloween approaches, we often get asked for spooky stories for kids.  Here's a few of our favorite spooky picture books . . . .

Beware the Monster by Michael Escoffier
Advises the reader to avoid reading the book that contains a monster that is eating up everything in sight, until the monster spots the reader looking at it and it is too late.

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 than what they expect.

When a Monster Is Born by Sean Taylor
Explores the options available to a monster from the time it is born, such as becoming the scary monster under someone's bed or playing on the school basketball team.

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