Halloween is right around the corner!
With every other holiday I love having themed books to read to my toddler son during the season. Halloween books can be a little spooky but most of these books for kids aren’t too scary.
The list of 18 Halloween books for toddlers below features all board books.
Boy, there’s nothing more frustrating than reading with my son as he rips half a page out of a book. Goodbye money. Goodbye words.
I love board books for my son. He really loves to rip the pages and board books last much longer in our house.

My son is a book destroyer too. I’ll have to check some of these out. He loves Daniel Tiger and we have some of the other Leslie Petricelli books (Hop, Hop is a favorite) he enjoys. Thanks for the list!
Why do they destroy the books? My son will read and rip. Read and rip.
Ugh, I know! And always his favorite ones. And eating them. My delicious vehan Mac and cheese, that goes on the floor. But the corner of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, let’s eat that.
