One of the most popular family movies is the Tim Burton directed animation, The Nightmare Before Christmas. There is a book version too and it's an ideal gift for Halloween. The story concerns Jack Skellington and his friends in Halloweentown. Jack is responsible for organizing the Halloween festivities each year but becomes bored with them. Looking for a new challenge, he discovers Christmas Town and a great adventure follows as Jack realizes that there is no place as good as home. It's one of the best Halloween books for reading to young children after their trick or treat excursion.

Scooby Doo & Halloween Pop-Up Books

Children will also love Scooby Doo and the Halloween Hotel Haunt: a Glow in the Dark Mystery by Jesse Leon McCann. Fans of Scooby and his friends will already be familiar with their ghost hunting stories and this book has the added excitement of glowing in the dark when the lights are turned off. Pop-up books are popular and Halloween Bugs: A Trick or Treat Pop-Up contains ghouls and bugs and is written by David A.Carter. The Big Pumpkin, written by Erica Silverman and illustrated by S.D.Schindler is another one of the Halloween books with a charming story. It is about a witch that has grown the largest pumpkin in history but it's far too big to make into pumpkin pie.
