jE Jeffers
"A young girl lives in a haunted house, but she has never seen a ghost. Are they white with holes for eyes? Are they hard to see? Step inside and help the girl as she searches under the stairs, behind the sofa, and in the attic for the ghost." -- Amazon.

Slip-sliding his way through a haunted house, a little ghost is joined by a shuffling mummy, a happy little monster, and other ghoulish friends before discovering the scariest creature in the house.
Scary, scary Halloween
Bunting, Eve, 1928-
j394.2646 Bunting
A band of trick-or-treaters and a mother cat and her kittens spend a very scary Halloween.
This may be extra spooky for some kiddos, but adding some goofy voices makes it more approachable for some little ones. The artwork is exactly what I think of when thinking about Halloween.

The ghosts went floating
Norman, Kim, author.
j394.2646 Norman
Witches, werewolves, and other creatures celebrate Halloween in an illustrated rhyme that can be sung to the tune of "The Ants Go Marching."
This sing-song book, which also includes counting, is fun to read aloud, though be prepared - It is not a quick one!

Goodnight goon : a petrifying parody
Rex, Michael.
jE Rex
A young monster says goodnight to all of the other monsters in his bedroom.
Whether or not you know or love classic, "Goodnight Moon," this version will delight those who love to be spooked. The cadence and the rhythm make for a soothing read even as monsters adorn every page.

Ghost tries to help Skeleton get rid of the hiccups.
For little ones who love skeletons and mimicking bodily sounds (hiccups being the least alarming), this book is a perfect union.
