Our Favorite Halloween Kids Books

Do you love halloween kids books like we do!  We love everything about Halloween. :) Even though Halloween is by far the most *CRAZY* day at school and the kids are as hyper as can be, you have to admit the kids' excitement is irresistible.  And, as any teacher will attest, all you have to do is give what you're teaching a Halloween slant, and the kids are with you the whole time!  We love that about Halloween 'season'. So parents and teachers...be sure to add plenty of these clever and adorable Halloween kids books to your kids' holiday experience.
