New releases spark excitement for all ages: Young kids will beg for extra readings of Halloween stories about friendly ghosts and magical witches, while older ones will tear through spine-chilling thrillers about eerie shadows in the woods and frightening zombies.

Books are an easy way to create a memorable Halloween season while promoting literacy skills. When kids are engaged in new books — say, a hot-off-the-press title about monsters or ghouls — they’re more likely to grow into lifelong readers.

For instance, I'm NOT Scary and How Do Dinosaurs Say Trick or Treat? are sweet stories perfect for young readers. Read aloud these adorable and silly rhyming stories with beautiful illustrations with your little one! Further the fun with this How Do Dinosaurs Say Trick or Treat? activity sheet!

Meanwhile, in Pokémon: Trick-or-Treat!, older readers will join beloved Pokémon characters in costume as they trick-or-treat through town. Plus, the book comes with a spook-tacular Halloween poster!
