Halloween Night on Shivermore Street

A parent might reach for this book when their child is excited for Halloween but is too sensitive for genuinely scary stories. This book is a perfect bridge, offering festive spookiness without any real threat. The story follows a group of children at a fantastic Halloween party on Shivermore Street where, at the magical thirteenth hour, skeletons play music and pumpkins come to life. It captures the wonder and excitement of the holiday, reassuring kids that spooky things can be fun and imaginary. It is an ideal choice for early elementary readers ready for a slightly longer story format but not for real scares.
