Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the bookishly inclined team over at The Broke and the Bookish.
This week’s theme is a Halloween-freebie, so I’ve decided to share ten of my favourite picture books for Halloween picture books!
Go Away Big Green Monster – A perfect monster book for your littlest patrons. Even timid children will enjoy shouting out “go away!” as you disassemble the big green monster.
Click Clack Boo – A Tricky Treat – Those crazy farm animals from Click Clack Moo are back, and this time they’re planning a sneaky surprise for Halloween-hating Farmer Brown.
Creepy Carrots – Jasper Rabbit loves carrots. He eats them all day every day. But what happens when the carrots have had enough…..?
How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin? – Fall is all about pumpkins, and this great picture book, with its diverse cast of characters, introduces STEM themes in a fun fall way.
Pumpkin Trouble – Trust Jan Thomas to create a silly, simple pumpkin story that will have kids in stitches!
Where’s My Mummy? – This little baby mummy loves playing hide-and-seek, but who will comfort baby mummy when the deep dark woods spook him? Mommy mummy, of course!
Ghosts in the House! – I love Kazuno Kohara’s minimalist illustrations in this sweet and spooky story of a little girl and her haunted house.
Mouse’s First Halloween – A sweet, not-scary story perfect for the littlest ghouls and goblins.
Pumpkin Eye – A poetic Halloween celebration that’s a little bit spooky, but not too scary.
Peek-A-Boooo! – A fun lift-the-flap book that’s perfect for babies and toddlers.
Have a spooktacular Halloween, everyone!
I didn’t know about Click, Clack Boo!! I love Click, Clack Moo and the others!!
It’s such a fun series – that barnyard crew just cracks me up.
Love ’em. I got every member of our family a copy of the first two. My brother, at the time, was a Union Organizer. We had a ball that Christmas.
Where’s My Mummy? looks absolutely adorable. They all look pretty cute, actually.
A little bit spooky, but mostly cute. 🙂
I love all your book recommendations for kids. I’m going to keep you in mind next time I’m buying books for a gift. (The best sort of gift!)
Books are absolutely the best gifts – the gifts that keep on giving. 🙂
Where’s My Mummy looks soo cute <3
A sweet take on Halloween. 🙂
These all look so cute. I really like the art for Ghosts in the House — in these days of full color everything, I love the streamlined look of two- and three-color artwork.
Kazuno Kohara has such a sweet, unique art style – her picture book The Midnight Library is a wonderful ode to libraries.
These all look so cute!
My TTT
That was my mission – Halloween books that are definitely more cute than scary. 🙂
What a fun bunch of books. I’ll ha email to pick some if these up for my daughter. Click Clack Boo looks cute!
These look like such fun Halloween books, especially Creepy Carrots!
I love Creepy Carrots. The author is actually an old friend of mine (though I haven’t seen him in years). It’s fun to see his books doing so well!!
That is too cool!!! It’s such a fun book, I’ve seen it on a couple of TTT posts this week. 🙂
‘Where’s My Mummy?’ that sounds absolutely adorable. Will have to add this to my TBR for my nieces and nephews.
Me and my son LOVED to read Halloween picture books when he was younger!! Now he’s 8, so we’ve moved on to the younger side of MG. I still miss those adorable books though. We really loved Goodnight Goon, Room on the Broom, and the 13 Nights of Halloween.
Aw! I *love* this twist. I will definietly be checking out some of these from the library for me and my son to read. Especially, “Where’s My Mummy”! Oh my goodness the cuteness!

Great list. I love your take on the topic. I haven’t seen any picture book lists today.
taking note of these for my nephew! they’re all so cute!
Oh I like that you did picture books. I’ll have to see if I can find some of these in Dutch for my son next year!
