In my house, spooky season starts immediately after Labor Day. Yes, that means as I’m typing this (weeks before you’ll read it), my house is fully decked out. Oh yes, I’m that person. Our decorations stay up through all of September and October, before we switch to Christmas decor for November and December…and sometimes a little of January. Luckily for my neighbors, only a few decorations make their way outside — just a wreath and maybe a skeleton or two. I am NOT an inflatable yard decor person (shudders internally). But, why Halloween? For me, it’s one of the only holidays I perceive as purely pleasurable. Nobody expects gifts or food or quality time from you. Everyone just wants to have a good time and be a little weird. The weather is perfect for fire pit parties or cozying up inside with a scary movie. Also, you get to be whoever you want. Who doesn’t love playing dress up? But I digress. I could talk about Halloween all day, but you came for the books. Thus, without further ado, let’s look at 21 Halloween books that all the kids in your life can enjoy.
