louds for Halloween From: Maureen Milton library_at_arborschool.org Date: Fri, October 14, 2 011 1:23 am To: ccb c-net_at_lists.education.wisc.edu

My favorite books for Halloween a ren't all directly about Halloween, but provide a gentle frisson or a go od laugh.

Once When I Was Scared by Helena Clare Pittman (fanc iful captivating for K-1s, with some scariness overcome by imagina tion and beautiful Ted Rand illustrations)

Wicked Jack adapted by Connie Nordheilm Wooldridge (funny take on an American folktale, complete with devils Will Hillenbrand's illustrations)

Space C ase by Edward Marshall (it's worth explaining the word "atomized" at the outset)

I also read ( sometimes help the children recite for a n assembly) an older Deborah Kogan Ray-illustrated version of e.e. cummi ngs "hist wist" ("little ghost things"--illustrations take the lib erty of depicting Halloween which helps ground the lively language for t he littles)
