Tis the season for pumpkins, skeletons, bats, spiders, candy, black cats, witches, ghosts, and haunted houses. We have put together a list of some good books for Halloween to listen to all week long!!
In an effort to maintain a little bit of sanity…… at least until the class party…. listening to some Halloween read-alouds are a way to keep the mood calm and help the students stay engaged. These are some spooky, fun read-alouds that we listen to every year and now your kiddos can enjoy them too.
The Halloween Tree 
by Susan Montanari
The Halloween Tree is a fun and funny story that all kids should listen to at Halloween. My students love this book and yours will too.

Where’s My Mummy
by Carolyn Crimi
Little Baby Mummy wants just one more game of hide-and-shriek with Big Mama Mummy before bedtime.
