16 Halloween Books Your Young Child Will Love

If you are looking for some great Halloween books for your young child, I have compiled the perfect list! We love Halloween and children’s books around here, so I figured why not make a list of those two things combined?

In the month of September, I start putting out Halloween books for my daughter to enjoy. We read these each night before bed for the next couple of months. She has the majority of these books on the list, but I added a few that were parts of the series I loved as a teacher and ones I know are very popular with children.

Let’s get to it! This post contains sponsored links at no additional cost to you.

01

How to Catch a Witch

This series is so fun! A New York Times and USA Today bestseller from the hit How to Catch series! The perfect Halloween gift or basket stuffer that kids ages 3-7 will love!

02

My Little World Halloween Counting Book

Part of the My Little World series, this playful book features a haunted house with peek-through pages and a rhyming story to teach children to count from 1 to 10.

03

You’re My Little Baby Boo

This one is Mom’s favorite! I started buying this National Best Selling series each holiday for my daughter when she was born. I think their stories are precious. You can’t go wrong with this one.

04

Never Touch the Grumpy Pumpkins

This one is read on repeat at my house. It has silicone touches throughout the book which are great for sensory play. We love how witty the author is, as well!

05

Ten Little Pumpkins

I personally love this one because of the glittery cover. The pumpkin’s face changes from a smile to a BOO! This one includes rhymes and counting.

06

Room on the Broom

We love this one! It’s great for repetition. It’s a cute story about a witch who loses her hat, bow, and wand and gains help from some spooky friends.

07

Trick or Treat Little Critter

This was my favorite series as a kid, so I had to add it! It’s time to go trick-or-treating with Little Critter and friends!

08

Vampire Pets

My daughter loves the googly eyes in this book. This book features an owl, toad, cat, spider, and bat with fun rhymes.

09

Pete the Cat Trick or Pete

This is a lift-the-flaps book from the New York Times bestseller series by Kimberly and James Dean. Follow Pete as he discovers what is behind each door!

10

The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything

We love this one! It is perfect for making noise and memory skills. Clomp, clomp, shake, shake, clap, clap…this one is entertaining!

11

Disney’s Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas

This one is a classic, and we all know and love Jack Skellington! This version includes stickers from the movie, as well!

12

Disney’s The Haunted Mansion (Little Golden Book)

Disney theme park lovers – this one is for you! Can you find your way out of The Haunted Mansion?

13

The Berenstain Bears Trick-Or-Treat

Here’s a classic book from Stan and Jan Berenstain – Halloween-style. Brother and Sister can’t wait to go trick-or-treating with friends, but things don’t go as planned!

14

Ghost Afraid of the Dark

Boo the Ghost celebrates his first Halloween, but he realizes he is afraid of many things. This book is the perfect glow-in-the-dark bedtime read!

15

Spooky Pookie

These board books by Sandra Boynton are very popular. In this one, Pookie has a costume dilemma! The resolution will delight toddlers and parents alike.

16

Trick or Treat, Marley!

This one might be my favorite on the list! Dog lovers will really enjoy this story about a pup that gets in the way while planning a costume party. It’s so cute and the illustrations are on point.
