15 Great Hallowe’en Picture Books
I’m so excited about our latest book round-up, because Hallowe’en is one of my favourite times of the year. What many people don’t know, is that Hallowe’en originated from the Celtic traditions in Scotland and Ireland, and not as commonly assumed from the USA (I wrote a post about it last year, if you want to read more about it), so here in Edinburgh we like to fully embrace Hallowe’en and I’m excited to share some of our favourite Hallowe’en picture books with you!
If you enjoyed the video, I’d be really grateful if you would subscribe to my channel. Thanks!

I’d forgotten all about Funnybones! Such a favourite from when I was little, I’ll have to get my hands on a copy for my boys. I always love theming our bookshelf – it’s hours of fun for me :)
This is a great list! We are big fans of Room on Tye Broom that reminds me I need to go and dig out our copy!
Same here I love Halloween too. My children love this time of year and would love a Halloween picture book, we’ve never had one before. Love the list of suggestions. i wonder if I can find some locally x
Love the Halloween season! What a good list of Halloween books for the kids. I like the Sound of Room on the Broom haha xx
Our grandsons love Halloween but I think they’re getting a bit too old for picture books. Although I think our littlest one would still enjoy the Trick or Treat Book with the torch at bedtime.
Funnybones is such an all time classic! We need to get the Halloween vibe going at home.
What a lot of lovely sounding books – I never knew there were so many for Halloween. My kids would love some of these x
When I was young I used to love picture books but honestly, Halloween used to scare me witless
oh we love switching books with the seasons, great list!
