This story is soooo cute! It's about a witch who runs into a few problems because everything she owns, including her cat - is black. She tries some witch style problem solving that doesn't go the way she expects, but it does have a happy ending. I've been reading this book for years to my students and I always look forward to reading it again!
This isn't really a Halloween book but I read it every October. Good ole lovable Grover doesn't disappoint. The students think the book is hilarious, especially when you ham it up! Throughout the book Grover doesn't want you to turn the pages because he's afraid of the monster at the end. The students get really into it and BEG me to turn the pages - hehehe. Highly recommended!!!
Another book about monsters :) This is a book I found about two years ago. The "perfect" little monster does everything a good monster does - terrible messes, scowling faces, etc. At the end he does something so horrible he scares his entire monster family - all to the delight of the students. The ending is what makes this book a must read.

Thanks for linking up, Laura. I loved, loved, loved that Grover book growing up! It was one of my favorites. I've got to see if it's still at my mom's house somewhere. Thanks for sharing it. It brings back good memories. I'd like to check out your other recommendations as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting the Thanksgiving picture book link up over the weekend if you'd like to link up to that too.
