I love a bilingual adaptation of a holiday story. The illustrations add to the spooky mood and it reads almost like poetry. The students would likely love it, especially the part where the kids scare the monsters at the end. It could be used to talk about different perspectives because of this.

Summary: Halloween story of real monsters throwing a party in the house and was surprised by human children at the door asking trick or treat.

A great book to use to reflect on Hispanic culture during Halloween time. Typically, we see the American representation of Halloween characters but this book puts a Hispanic twist on the holiday. It even has a great ending that will make children laugh. ( )

This short illustrated tale puts a fun twist on Halloween Night. We start with the different introductions, in both English and Spanish, of all sorts of creatures and objects found typically on the holiday. The story then goes to tell about how on this night, the monsters throw a party of their own. Their party comes to a sudden stop when something even scarier than the monsters appear, children in costumes! Having a story like this in the classroom is a fun break from normal, everyday work that allows students to read from a different perspective and a different language. ( )
