Spooky Stories and Scholastic Book GIVEAWAY!

Today's Trick & Treats is actually another activity. In fact, we have a lot of fun activities coming up throughout the rest of this month. Today's activity is so simple, yet so much fun. It is time to get in the Halloween mood with some Halloween reading! That is right! Hit the library, bookstore, or even HERE to get some stories to read with your little one. Or, just make up your own. I bet your kiddo may surprise you with their creativity and what they can come up with! 
And, to go along with this fun activity, I have a great giveaway.........



I don't know about you, but I LOVED Scholastic books when I was in school. I loved getting that little flyer to take home and read with mom and dad, picking out which books I was going to get. I loved book fairs with Scholastic, getting little surprises each time. And now, I am super super excited to say that I am giving away 3 awesome Halloween books from Scholastic to one lucky reader!
As an avid reader, I am super super excited for this giveaway! I think one of the BEST ways we can spend time with our little ones is to read with them. My son and I read all the time. Heck, some of his favorites he now has memorized! I absolutely love all three of these books, but I will admit our favorite is Happy Halloween Stinky Face. I don't know if you have read any of the other stinky face books, but they are absolutely fantastic.


Happy Halloween Stinky Face – Mama, what if Mrs. Petry doesn't know it's really just me at her door? What if she gets so surprised from my super-scary costume that she throws her candy bowl up and it lands on her head and candy spills all over? It's almost time to go trick-or-treating, but first Stinky Face has just a few questions for Mama.

Dragon’s Halloween - Dragon loves spooky Halloween! But when he buys six small pumpkins that his friends tell him will never be scary, Dragon must come up with creative ways to make this Halloween just perfect. Dragon's antics are endearing and silly, and Dav Pilkey's sweet illustrations will have readers laughing aloud and reaching for this story every Halloween.

The Best Halloween Hunt Ever - Who will win the Halloween hunt? Sara, Roy, Tina, John, and Alexis are making masks, buying pumpkins, and searching all over the neighborhood for treats! Readers will have hours of fun searching throughout the book along with the characters. Answers to all of the puzzles are provided at the back of the book. And for an extra challenge, each spread contains an additional puzzle or trick for the reader to solve!
