Happy Wednesday friends!!!

 

BOoooooooo!  It is getting closer to Halloween so I decided to share one Halloween book  with you.  I will try and post a list of great ones to read before Halloween to your little goblin.  Today's choice is:

 

Hailey's Halloween

by

Lisa Bullard

 

     This is a neat book about Hailey's favorite holiday.  I bet you can guess.  It is Halloween!  Hailey is trying to learn more about Halloween and find a costume to wear on Hallow's Eve.  Hailey tells us about the first Halloween  which was during the time of the Celts.  They called Halloween Samhain.  The Celts thought Spirits visited Earth on Samhain.  Then on November 1 about 1,200 years ago some people called it All Hallow's Day.  The night before became All Hallow's Eve.  Later, the name changed to Halloween.  Halloween came to America about 400 years ago and now we celebrate Halloween in America too.  Haley keeps trying to find a costume all through the book along with telling us facts.  What costume does Hailey wear?  Read Haley's Halloween to find out.  It is a really cute book filled with facts about Halloween.  The author at the end of the book gives a recipe to make face paint if you don't like masks. She also lists two good websites for great Halloween fun.  Www.enchanted learning.com/crafts/Halloween/  and kids.nationalgeographic.com.  Also, www.lernersource.com.
