Halloween time is here again! My favorite holiday of the year, with my favorite month of fun storytimes about monsters and witches and good Halloween fun.
This week we're seeing monsters in three different fun environments.
Monster Chefs
Brian and Liam Anderson
ISBN: 9781596438088
Four monster chefs are caught off-guard by the monster king's demand for something different to eat besides eyeballs and ketchup, and three of them fail miserably, but the fourth finds a pastry chef, and starts a monster culinary revolution!
Boo-La-La Witch Spa
Samantha Berger, illustrated by Isabel Roxas
ISBN: 9780803738867
Cute walkthru of spas and their services and experiences, all with a witchy gloss. Skipped some sections because we have very small attendees this time, but it's spread-based so it's easy to skip past bits at leisure.
Monsters Love School
Mike Austin
ISBN: 9780062286185
The first day of school is fun for all, even little monsters!

Tuesday Storytime: October Already!
The month of October is a happy time for my storytime selecting; as it becomes essentially a month-long celebration of Halloween and all things spooky. This is my partner's first October, and she's off to a great start:
Me and My Dragon: Afraid of Halloween
David Biedrzycki
ISBN: 9781580896580
The boy and his adorable bright red dragon confront the frights and startlements of Halloween, and decide it's not that bad after all.
Penguin and Pumpkin
Salina Yoon
ISBN: 9780802737335
A little longer than it seems like it should be: Penguin heads out away from the ice with a pack of friends to see what "fall" is like, but baby brother Pumpkin has to stay home, as he's not quite big enough. (Serious questions about given names in this world remain unanswered) When Penguin and crew come back with fall leaves and pumpkins for all, they do what they can to give baby Pumpkin a chance to experience fall himself.
Crankenstein
Samantha Berger, illustrated by Dan Santat
ISBN: 9780316126564
Crankenstein is a very scary monster. Have you seen it? Check around when there are annoying or disappointing situations, or when life just doesn't go quite right. Crank will vanish sometimes, but it will always be back. A funny sideways view of childhood fits and grumps works perfectly for this time of year.
