Dragon's Halloween

Reach for Dragon's Halloween when your child is feeling those first prickles of holiday anxiety or when they need to see that 'spooky' can also be silly. If your little one is worried about what makes a 'good' costume or is slightly intimidated by the darker side of October, Dragon provides a gentle, bumbling companion who models how to navigate the season with a kind heart and a sense of humor. Through three short chapters, the lovable and literal-minded Dragon tries his best to celebrate. He accidentally creates a giant pumpkin from six small ones, struggles to pick a costume that isn't too scary, and eventually finds himself on a dark walk through the woods. Dav Pilkey's signature bright illustrations and simple text make this an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who are building their emotional resilience around seasonal fears. It is a comforting, laugh-out-loud reminder that even when things seem a little bit scary, curiosity and kindness usually win the day.
