Halloween Jammies and Books Roundup

Here is a fun fact about me: I love children’s literature. So much so that I took a master’s level class in children’s lit a couple years ago and had every intention of abandoning my current profession in communications to pursue a career as a children’s librarian.

I am still considering that dream.

For now, though, I just enjoy sweet little stories with Jack.

With Halloween coming up, I wanted to invest in new books (and jammies) for Jack. After all, Halloween season is my favorite. And holidays are all the more special with fresh pajamas and fun reads.

To celebrate Halloween, these are the titles I ordered for Jack, Justin, and me to enjoy.

Stumpkin by Lucy Ruth Cummins — My FAVORITE; the illustrations are adorable
Five Little Pumpkins by Ben Mantle
Happy Halloween Little Critter by Mercer Mayer
Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson
You’re my Little Pumpkin Pie by Natalie Marshall
Goodnight Goon: A Petrifying Parody by Michael Rex
Pumpkin Jack by Will Hubbell
How to Make Friends with a Ghost by Rebecca Green — My second favorite; the illustrations are so good
This Nightmare Before Christmas by Tim Burton

Many of these titles are a little old for Jack right now, but I still thoroughly enjoy reading them to him. And he laughs and giggles each time I alter my voice in any way while reading; he thinks it’s the best! Because the books are a little more advanced, I love that they will grow and age well with Jack and we will be able to cherish them for Halloweens to come. Books can be an investment, and they are one that I fully support making.

Since we can’t do bedtime reading without fun, comfy pajamas, I am rounding up my favorite Halloween jammies from across the internet.
