I'm a big fan of a creepy family movie and a bag of trick or treat goodies to help you get into the Halloween spirit, but you can't beat curling up at bedtime with a blanket, lights dimmed and a spooky book. Even better, turn the lights out and read by torch light.
We have a couple of great Halloween books already but I picked up a few new ones to add to the collection this year.
Ayden is really getting into books now and will come up to me with one of his stories and climb onto my lap to read it. He was excited to see this new addition to his collection.

We're big fans of the BabyLit series - we have a few and Ayden loves them all. Dracula is a 'counting primer', introducing little ones to numbers using the basis of the Dracula story.
This one is not really a typical Halloween book, but it is a bit icky and odd so that qualifies it for me.
Great for little ones that like to ask 'why?', 'The Holes in Your Nose' is all about… well, the holes in your nose! And what's up them to be more precise. Cue much giggling when we got to the bogey page!
A true Halloween classic and one I remember from my childhood. This pop-up book was first published 25 years ago and is still as spooky and appealing as ever. Reading it for the first time with my children, it was exactly as I had remembered it - the octopus in the sink and the ghost under the stairs. It brought the memories flooding back. Brilliant.
What are you reading to your little ones this Halloween?
