Following on from my Autumn/Fall post on books about the season. I thought it would be great to reflect on what the girls Halloween book collection looks like too. Photoed below are just four of the books that are in their ever expanding collection.
Angelina's Halloween
My favourite book from childhood has to be A Mouse's Diary by Michelle Cartlidge which was given to me when I was three and am still in possession of today. Angelina the Ballerina is the closest I've found today to that book so when I saw this one in the series I thought it would be a lovely way in which to introduce Halloween. It tells the story of what happens when Angelina goes trick or treating with her friends and little sister.
Emily Brown and the Thing
When Emily Brown finds a Thing outside her window crying she sets out to help it overcome it's fear of the dark.The Princess and the Wizard
From the author of the Gruffalo (Julia Donaldson) comes a delightful book featuring a princess and wizard. The princess has to outwit the wizard using magic to escape. Will she be able to escape his clutches?
Winnie the Witch
Having turned everything black in her home to hide the mess. Winnie loses sight of her black cat. Will she be able to fix things so that she can see them again?The Girls Collection
Here is the selection that’s on my girls’ bookshelves this
year alongside their autumn books, but I'm sure this collection will grow.
Ahhh these books look great, my daughter would love them and so perfect for this time of year xx #KLTR

ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and commenting.
DeleteI love it when there are seasonal books to encourage reading. I like Winnie the Witch best! Thanks for linking up with #KLTR
ReplyDeleteI do too. Winnie the Witch is good but a little too old for the girls at the moment.
DeleteOh do let me know if you get any
ReplyDeleteI've just shared a post with mine and someone also recommended The Princess and The Wizard, I'll have to put that on our list. I picked up Winnie the Witch Flies Again in a charity shop, but we've not read the original, so another for my wish list!! x
ReplyDeleteI've not seen any Halloween's childrens books in charity shops recently so well done on the find
DeleteOh I should have read this last week as Halloween was such fun! You should add Room on the Broom to this list which is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to #kltr
Aww thanks for the recommendation.
