THE FUSE

I love checking out picture books from the library for my son, but October makes for an especially fun reading month for us. Summer has ended, school has started, and while these things can feel like a bummer, the excitement of the Halloween season gives us something to look forward to again. We chatter about our Halloween costume ideas, poke around the fall decor aisles while shopping, attend fall festivals, and revel in the shared joy of the season together. I work in a library, so I bring home stacks of Halloween books for us to read together, and picture books about monsters make up many of our favorites.
