This is a good book to read in October for Halloween. It is a fun silly book to read to first grade students. It is about a jack o lantern, a skeleton, and ghost going trick or treating. They go to a witches house, a goblins house, and they think they are now going to a vampire's house. They go to the door and a human little girl opens the door. This scares them to death and they run back and hide under the bed. Kids think this is very funny because usually humans are scared of the scary things, but in this book, the scary things were scared of humans. The pictures in this book were funny, too.
Jack O'Lantern's Scary Halloween is a really cute halloween book. The book is about a Jack O'Lantern and all his friends on halloween. They all go trick or treating and got alot of candy. At the end of the book they hid under the bed and didnt come out until Christmas. The book has really cute pictures, and kids really enjoy reading about halloween. This would be a good read aloud and a great book to have in your classroom library. This book is 2nd or 3rd grade level book but can be enjoyed by any grade level.
