Halloween is a special time to create first memories with your toddler through reading. Board books that feature cute jack-o'-lanterns, fun costumes, and not-so-spooky ghosts and ghouls evoke the magic of the season while you’re cozying up to read at home. The titles in this hand-picked list are wonderfully interactive — with touch-and-feel textures, lift flaps, and opportunities to peek into masks and mirrors — and are great for developing fine motor skills in early learners.
Kids can deliver presents alongside Puppy and woodland friends in 5 Spooky Surprises — a playful Halloween board book. With surprises to discover on every page, it’s a festive way to keep toddlers engaged while reading together.
For a silly sensory experience, Never Touch a Spooky Ghost! invites little ones to explore its fun touch-and-feel textures. But because the Halloween crew is feeling more spooked than spooky, your little reader is going to have to help them face their fears... if they dare!
Discover these board books and more below! You can also find more Halloween books for all ages at The Scholastic Store.
