Halloween is a special holiday for kids, with decorative costumes and yummy candy. You can get your little ones ready for this spooky, fun-filled time by choosing Halloween-themed books for them to read in the weeks leading up to fright night. Here are some tips to help you find the right books for your kids this Halloween.

From Quick Guide: Scary Stories for After Dark
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Take into consideration the age group you are shopping for. Younger kids will most likely feel more comfortable with Halloween books that have feel-good stories, rather than stories meant to scare.

  2. Step 2

    Visit local bookstores and discount department stores a month or so before Halloween. They usually have a good selection of Halloween books for kids.

  3. Step 3

    Check online booksellers such as Amazon, which offer a large selection of Halloween books for kids of all ages. You can read reviews on the books prior to purchasing, and they will even recommend additional books based on books you have browsed.

  4. Step 4

    Browse kid's websites such as Kidsreads to find recommended books for specific age groups. You'll find a brief synopsis as well as the number of pages in each kid's book.

  5. Step 5

    Remember to choose a book that is appropriate for the reading level and ability of the kids you are buying for. The children's librarian at your public library or your child's reading teacher can help you understand reading levels.

  6. Step 6

    Wrap the books in black and orange wrapping paper and tie some Halloween ribbon around the packages. This is a fun way to give the books to the kids and get them in the spirit of Halloween.

Tips & Warnings
  • To save money, visit your public library with your kids, and check out Halloween books to read together.
