Written by Dr. Antoinette Corley-Newman and Illustrated by Noor Alshalabi, Trick or Treat: The Story of the Switch Witch and How she Came to Be, is a sweet story about Abigail the witch, who lives in Transylvania. She longs for more after seeing all the mortal children celebrating with sweet treats in the near by town. Abigail sets about changing the way the holidays are celebrated.
This is a great story to inspire children and show them that they can make positive changes in the world- they just have to believe in themselves and be motivated!
2. Written by Lisa Ferland and illustrated by Pei Jen, When the Clock Strikes on Halloween, is a fun rhyming book that teaches kids the time, using Halloween rhymes with each strike of the clock. This is a quick, easy bedtime story, that you could easily read several times through to small children. This book would be ideal for pre-school and kindergarten children to help them memorise the numbers on a clock.
3. Written by Cindi Handley Goodeaux and illustrated by Jack Foster, this is a cute rhyming book about a monster and a little boy who are both nervous and scared of the each other. Once they meet, they become friends- and realise that they let their preconceived ideas about each other create the fear.
A great lesson for children in tolerance and understandings of others.
