Category: Halloween

Halloween in these stories is more playful than frightening. Bones go missing during a dance, pumpkins roll into town, costumes go wrong and a tiny ghost searches for a friend. A few longer adventures introduce witches or real danger for older readers, while the shorter selections end in yawns, laughter or treats. Choose by the child’s preferred balance of silliness, suspense and seasonal atmosphere.
