Picture this: Your students' eyes light up the moment they see you pull out a Halloween picture book, and suddenly even your most reluctant readers are leaning in with anticipation. There's something magical about spooky season that transforms our classrooms, and I'm here to help you make the most of it!

In this episode, I'm sharing my favorite new Halloween picture books that'll cast a spell on your students while giving you rich discussion opportunities and meaningful curriculum connections. From tender stories about courage and growing up to hilarious tales of inclusive monster clubs, these mostly brand-new releases offer so much more than seasonal fun. Plus, I'll share how each book can work in your busy classroom and why your students will be begging you to read them again and again.
