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.
For instance, Silly Witch a new novelty book from Sandra Magsamen is perfect for you and your little reader can giggle over the jokes on each page and engage with the witch's especially silly, tactile feet.
For fans of Pig the Pug, Pig the Monster is a hilarious Halloween-themed tale featuring the famously greedy pug, Pig, who transforms into a candy-obsessed creature of chaos. With playful rhymes and expressive illustrations fans of the series know well, this board book delivers giggles and gentle lessons about sharing and self-control—all wrapped in spooky fun for little readers.
