Buck and Billy Baxter set a massive pumpkin rolling down the hill toward their farm in this rhyming Halloween picture book from author Kevin Lewis and illustrator S.D. Schindler. My favorite scene was the depiction of their little sister Lil in her witch costume!

A rhyming seasonal tale from author/illustrator Jerry Smath. I found the text a lot of fun to read and the accompanying artwork cute and appealing. Unsurprisingly, given my fondness for witches, my favorite scene was the one in which the witches fly across the sky, with jack-o-lanterns guiding their way.

Happy Halloween! It's been a minute. (4 years 🤪) I've since had two more kiddos. My days are spent reading lovely picture books with my younger three and delightful classic lit, roving history, and enduring nature stories with my oldest for his homeschool. We also buddy read plenty of fun middle grade stories. This, a small sample of our spooky season reads.
How have you all been AND where is the app? I can't find it in the Google Play Store?? 😅

Happy Halloween from this little devil. I‘m surprised he actually sat there long enough for me to take a photo. It‘s extremely windy here today & he isn‘t sure what to make of it. Besides trying to try & chase every leaf that flies by.
