October 2020 Giveaway: Halloween Picture Book Pack

October 2020 Giveaway: Halloween Picture Book Pack

October is my favorite month of the year. Halloween reigns supreme as the ultimate holiday in my book. It’s no secret I’m a big fan spooky things and sharing them with the kids. So this month it’s a no-brainer - we’re going to share some spooky things with one of our readers as well! We have three brand new Halloween picture books up for grabs in our October giveaway.

(Update 10/15/20: Giveaway Closed! Congrats to Maggie K. on winning!)

Up for grabs is a Halloween picture book pack featuring the following 3 books:
It’s Halloween, Little Monster by Hellen Ketteman and Bonnie Leick
How to Build a Haunted House by Frank Tupta and Kyle Beckett
That Monster on the Block by Sue Ganz-Schmitt and Luke Flowers

These are some of the first new Halloween books we got our hands on this year, and don’t be surprised to see them turn up on our annual list of the best new Halloween picture books later this month. In particular, the art really stands out in these books. They’re all very unique and captivating - and the kids fell in love with the spooky but lighthearted worlds they build for us.

Special shout out to artist Luke Flowers who we have been following for a while. We always love his projects and always look forward to getting our hands on any books he works on. And a very big thanks to Blue Slip Media for providing these brand new Halloween picture books to this month’s winner!

Make sure to pay attention, because we’re ending the contest earlier than usual this month. We want to make sure the winner has the books by Halloween if possible! And make sure to grab all of the entries that you can - especially the bonus entry for telling us your favorite Halloween book in the comments! I definitely want to know which spooky book comes out on top!
