The Runaway Pumpkin: A Halloween Adventure Story
- Sky Pony Press; ISBN: 978-1-63450-214-6
- Ages 3-6 years

The Runaway Pumpkin by Anne Margaret Lewis (Illustrated by Aaron Zenz) was inspired by the loved children’s classic The Runaway Bunny. This book is geared toward ages 3-6 years. Like its inspiration, The Runaway Pumpkin is going to be the next best Halloween classic. You will want to add this one to your child’s library.
You will enjoy this story when a cute little pumpkin sets out for his Halloween adventure. So this is when he sets out to prepare for his adventure of a lifetime.
This story has set out to encourage kids to use their imagination and to be adventurous. It also shows kids that while having their adventures they can make wonderful memories with someone who is special to them while having fun.
Another fun Halloween book that I want to share with you is “I Want to Eat Your Books”, by Karin Lefranc and Tyler Parker.
- Ages: 3-6 years.
- ISBN:978-1-63450-9
- $16.99
This book is available in hardcover as well as an ebook, 32 pages, color illustrations throughout.
This monster could be a student’s best friend! This zombie isn’t interested in eating your brains, he wants to eat your books. He is a very hungry ‘book’ zombie, so you will want to hide all of your books because he is not genre specific. He isn’t finicky so just beware.
When the monster becomes aware by a whiff of the school’s library they children need to quickly come up with a plan before all of their books go down in history! This book is very silly and fun. But along with that is a message of kindness and friendship.
This book is perfect for the little ones that want a little excitement without being too scary. This book can well go beyond the Halloween season and last all year long.

For every girl that isn’t dreaming of becoming a princess, this book is for them. Bella Donna doesn’t want to be a boring princess, different than all of her friends she wants to be a witch. This is her fantasy.
For as long as Bella Donna can remember she has suspected she has magical powers. Sadly she has been waiting for her ‘forever family’ while living in an orphanage. Then the day comes that she meets Lilith Sorciere and decides she will live with her and her niece Verity.
While living with them, she tries to keep her witchy ways a secret from her new found family. While keeping herself on her very best behavior, she comes home early one day from school to something very surprising. Is it possible that Coven Road really is a road for people like herself….witches.
The message with this book is all about following your dreams and being true to yourself. This is the first installment of the sweet, yet spooky Bella Donna series for young, magic-loving minds. Mainstreamed mainly for girls this book may also be of interest to young boys that like the supernatural/paranormal storyline.

Children surrounded by books who see active reading become readers themselves.
These look like fun books! Even though my kids are a little over the suggested age range, I have a feeling they would love “I Want to Eat Your Books!”
I love kids books. My kids are older than this age range but I’d be tempted to get them to read to them anyway.
These books look so cute. My toddlers really love Halloween and I know they would love these books.
What cute books! I’ll have to remember these for next Halloween 🙂
