Piggie Pie- A delightful book about Gritch the Witch and the piggies on Old MacDonalds farm. This book is full of humorous references to characters in other stories and will leave both teacher and students grinning. The book centers around Gritch wanting to find some piggies to make piggie pie, and has a definite Halloween/fall vibe.
How many seeds in a Pumpkin?- This books is wonderful for anytime in October but I love reading it the day of or before Halloween. The book examines 3 different pumpkins asking which one will have the most seeds! After introducing the books, I will have students help me make a class graph on anchor chart paper of their predictions. Also a wonderful way to introduce strategies for repeated addition or multiplication!<
Stellaluna- Need I say more about this childhood classic? I have a wonderful freebie companion for this book on Teachers Pay Teachers to help with comparing and contrasting!
Creepy Carrots- Little Jasper is a bunny who just l.o.v.e.s carrots! But one day the carrots start to follow him... or do they? Hmm. Such a fun little book perfect for K/1 to read leading up to Halloween!
Whew! What are your suggestions for Halloween themed books? Would love to add some more onto my list! Hop on over to Our Elementary Lives for another wonderful list of seasonal books!

ReplyDeleteJulia's House for Lost Creatures is fairly new and just a wonderful book! I truly see it becoming popular in a few years when it is more heard of!
DeleteHi Kelsey, what a great list of books. I LOVE Piggie Pie. How Many Seeds looks like a great one too. I do a pumpkin math investigation before Halloween and this would be a great one to use with it. Thanks so much for sharing.
