If you read my blog, it’s not hard to see that we love books. \u00a0I especially love children’s books. \u00a0We read a lot in our home and bedtime stories are a favorite time. \u00a0Recently I was sent a spectacular set of three Halloween themed books from Candlewick Press. \u00a0Vampire Baby, Ghost In The House<\/em> and Filbert, The Good Little Fiend.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vampire Baby<\/em> by Kelly Bennett\u00a0is the story of a little boy who thinks his baby sister just might be a vampire. \u00a0He comes to this conclusion because unlike most babies who sprout their first teeth on the bottom, his little sister sports two sharp canines as her first pearly whites. \u00a0The other thing he notices \u00a0that might mean baby sister is a vampire, is that she’s up at night when everyone else is sleeping and isn’t that what vampires do? \u00a0She even has a nasty little habit of chomping down with those canines on her brother drawing blood. \u00a0It gets so that he starts wearing garlic around his neck and one day while shopping with mom he decides to take his vampire sister and give her away. He \u00a0puts a sign on her and wheels her around the store where he finds a “vampire family” in the Halloween costume aisle. \u00a0He is ready to hand her over and she bites the other little boy who has a big reaction and it finally brings about true big brother protection. \u00a0He then understands that she is his vampire sister and like it or not he loves her and she knows she’s right where she belongs.<\/p>\n

Ghost In The House<\/em> by Ammi-Joan Paquette\u00a0is a cute book of the creatures that go bump in the night. \u00a0It adds one more creature with each page turn and then a surprise ending.<\/p>\n

Filbert, The Good Little Fiend<\/em> by Hiawyn Oram \u00a0is another great book that shows a family learning to accept a son that is not such a scary fiend but loving him anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Tootie gets her first teeth, it\u2019s clear to her big brother that she\u2019s no ordinary baby. But how to convince Mom and Dad?<\/div>\n

$\"Ghost$ <\/p>\n
When a little ghost goes slip-sliding down the hallway, he suddenly hears…a groan! Turns out it\u2019s only a friendly mummy, who shuffles along with the ghost, until they encounter…a monster! As the cautious explorers continue, they find a surprise at every turn — and add another adorably ghoulish friend to the count. But you\u2019ll never guess who is the scariest creature in the house!<\/p>\n
Boo! Watch out for this rollicking, cumulative counting book for a Halloween treat that\u2019s more playful than scary.<\/div>\n
$\"Filbert,$ <\/a><\/p>\n
Daddy and Mommy Fiend want their little Filbert to be gruesome and ghastly, but he won\u2019t trample or terrify, roar or holler. He\u2019d much rather help an old lady with her bags or go bird-watching. What are they to do with him? When Filbert starts school, he quickly learns that good behavior isn\u2019t tolerated in class, and he is banished outside until he can act like a proper little fiend. Suddenly a little angel appears, flying fast and furious until…bump! Could this naughty Angel-School dropout be just the friend Filbert needs? Could they find a way together to make everyone accept them as they are?<\/p>\n
A little fiend who\u2019s too good for his own good befriends an angel who is too naughty — and together they concoct a clever plan.<\/div>\n
