Since I'm a glutton for punishment, I have a gazillion blogs. (Not really. But four is almost a gazilllion.) One of them is
The Storybook Shelf, where I highlight stories that The Boy and I have read together--mostly books that I think more people should know about. There are some AWESOME kid's books out there, besides the usual classics that we've all read.
Anyway, I have a few stories posted there
about fall and
about Halloween, if you have kids of the picture-book age. Hopefully, I'll have enough time to get a couple more posted there soon.
This one is
my most favorite Halloween book ever:

| Ghosts in the House!, by Kazuno Kohara |
If you have a favorite, we'd love to hear what it is!
I really love the graveyard book. It's a retelling of the Jungle book where instead of Jungle animals the boy is raised by ghosts. You can listen to the author read it for free here http://www.mousecircus.com/videotour.aspx
