READ ALOUD BOOK LIST:

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

by Kara McMahon (Adapter), Charles M. Schulz (Author), Scott Jeralds (Illustrator)

“Celebrate Halloween with Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang! It’s Halloween night, which means costumes, trick-or-treating, bobbing for apples…and waiting for the Great Pumpkin. Linus is certain that the Great Pumpkin will rise out of the pumpkin patch to bring toys to all the children of the world. Could this be the year that it finally happens?”

The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything

by Linda D. Williams (Author), Megan Lloyd (Illustrator)

“ Once upon a time, there was a little old lady who was not afraid of anything! But one autumn night, while walking in the woods, the little old lady heard . . . clomp, clomp, shake, shake, clap, clap. And the little old lady who was not afraid of anything had the scare of her life! With bouncy refrains and classic art, this timeless Halloween story is perfect for reading aloud.”
