These are a couple of our very favorite Halloween-y books.
The first, The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything, is appropriately spooky and gives a good lesson in remaining unruffled though you are fearful. The woman being chased by a "live" pair of pants, shirt and pumpkin head, and has to figure out a way to defeat it.
Brinton Turkle, of Obadiah fame, wrote and illustrated the second, Do Not Open. It shows thrift and being at peace with your life, even if hard times have come. The woman faces a very scary situation and keeps her wits about her. She saves her life and everything works out well. There is a frightening picture in it that scared my littlest ones the first time we read it, so this one is best for around seven and over in my opinion. Pre-read as always to make sure it's a good fit for your family!
