Halloween has become a touchy subject in many public schools. Gone are the days of costume contests and Halloween parties in the classrooms – but that doesn't mean you can't still have some harvest-themed fun. While ghosts and witches are often out of the question, pumpkins, fall-themed, and more generally spooky books are still acceptable in many schools. Below are 5 school-appropriate books you can read in your classroom this October.

1. Too Many Pumpkins

Picture
A fun and wholesome story about a gardener with, well... too many pumpkins.

2. The Roll-Away Pumpkin

Picture
A girl chases her run-away giant pumpkin. I love the illustration in this book!

3. Creepy Carrots!

Picture
Jasper can't get enough carrots – he loves them! Then he notices something strange... Are those carrots... creeping?

4. The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything

Picture
One of my all-time favorites and so many opportunities for adding instrumentation and sound effects.

5. The Spooky Wheels on the Bus

Picture
A spooky spin on the classic Wheels on the Bus song. Very fun and the kids already know the tune!

The Itsy Bitsy Pumpkin (Honorable Mention)

Picture
A little on the younger side, but still enjoyable by young kindergarteners. Again, a fun twist on a popular tune that most kids already know!

Which books would you add to the list? Tell me in the comments!
