Hallowe'en Picture Books

A selection of spooky titles for Hallowe'en.

Go Away Big Green Monster
by Ed Emberley

Go Away Big Green Monster is a bit of a classic spooky tale. As you go through the story a big green monster appears bit by bit. Big yellow eyes, big red mouth, sharp pointy teeth.......

The strong colours on a black background are very effective and once the monster appears in full, children then have a chance to shout "Go away big green face and so on until the monster disappears. Which is great for the more nervous child.





What's in the Witch's Kitchen
by Nick Sharratt

Another corker of a book by Nick Sharratt. This man can do no wrong! This time we enter the Witch's Kitchen and depending on which way the flaps are opened, there is either a very naughty or very nice surprise. Very cleverly done. A great talking point as you go through the book again and again.






Frank Was A Monster Who Wanted to Dance by Keith Graves.

My last pick is an older title that stands up to being brought out every year. Frank is a monster who loves to dance. He dresses up for the occassion with his top hat, he put ants in his pants and climbs on stage to thrill a frankly appalled audience, who are horrified to see poor Frank fall apart as he dances. All done in quirky rhyme.
