October is officially here and that means that Halloween is just around the corner! In this first episode of Season 2, I'm recommending 5 of my favorite Halloween books to read to kids in the days leading up to October 31st. While, admittedly, there are some terrible, cutesy, vapid Halloween books out there—I mean, let's be honest, how many pumpkin books does the world need?—there are also some really excellent books that are festive and perfect for Halloween in addition to being great for your child's brain and social-emotional development. Happy October and Happy Reading!
