I hope your October is going very well, friends! And I hope you’re as excited as I am about the approaching best holiday ever. We’ve already released our picks for the best new Halloween books of the year, but that doesn’t mean we’re entirely done talking about creepy books.
Dad’s Bookshelf for October does feature one spooky book that was released a few years ago, but still deserves an opportunity to be highlighted. It’s called The House of Madame M, and it’s definitely one to track down if you enjoy haunted houses and beautiful art.
The other books we’re showing off this time around are brand new – including one by our very favorite picture book making duo, and one by one of our very favorite publishers. We’re even dipping our toes into this year’s Christmas books already. I know it’s early, but it’s already been released – and it could very well be the best holiday book of the year.
I hope you were able to track down some of the new spooky books we suggested for this October – and I also hope that long list of great new books hasn’t burnt you out on book hunting for the month! Because the 3 picture books we have in store for you today are definitely worth another bonus trip to the library or your local bookstore!
Happy October reading – and Happy Almost Halloween!
Dad’s Bookshelf is a continuing, monthly series featuring the kids books we are most excited about each month. The series is named after the real life bookshelf we have in our home, where I keep all of my favorite picture books of all time. While the books we share on Dad’s Bookshelf are often brand new releases, it’s also not uncommon for us to be excited about an older book we just discovered or rediscovered.
