 In the style of "The House that Jack Built",
this Haunted House is a rhyming good time!



It's Halloween by Jack Prelutsky

If you love poetry, this is the Halloween book for you!
Prelutsky is such a clever poet and speaks directly to children!
He has gems for other holidays, as well.


 Mercy Watson is the first chapter book I read each year,

with eccentric characters and vivid illustrations. I love this series!!

 Great addition to your Halloween and Math bookshelf.
Count back with these timid ghosts as a witch tries to scare them away from a haunted house! Fun!



 I love that this book is written by Mr. Krieb! Cracks me up!
A group of children are off to find the witch's house, and the lively verse gets readers (and listeners) involved in the story. Great adjectives!

That's it for this week! Hopefully, you found something you love!
