Top 10 Halloween Books Plus One

If you are looking for a Halloween book for a child, check out my Top 10 Halloween Books. You'll find some not-too-scary picture books, one pretty scary picture book, a joke book, a science book about pumpkins, and a Nate the Great Halloween chapter book.

If you're looking for scary stories for 8-12 year olds, I recommend Scholastic's 13 Scary Ghost Stories, edited by Marianne Carus and illustrated with cut paper artwork by Yong Sheng Xuan. This paperback book for intermediate readers is also a good read-aloud. It includes stories by Marion Dane Bauer, Eric A. Kimmel, Susan Price, Aaron Shephard, among others. There are scary ghost stories from India, Scotland, England, the United States, Ireland, and Japan.
