The Best Halloween Toddler Books

A list of cute Interactive Halloween books for Babies and toddlers ages 1-3 years old

Nothing spooky or scary for little ones! Just great storybooks that rhyme and are interactive. I’ve tested many books from the library so trust me on this list.

Little Blue Truck Halloween by Alice Schertle (Author), Jill McElmurry (Illustrator)

The friendliest Little Blue Truck is a classic series. Now Little Blue is picking up his animal friends for a costume party. With flaps for each animal friend, babies and toddlers will love playing peek-a-boo with each farm animal.





Follow Boo the Ghost as he celebrates his first Halloween with all his Monster friends! He is a shy little ghost and quickly goes on little activities with his friends and realizes how fun the dark can be. It’s a very cute story and best part of all is the cover glows in the dark.






The witch and her cat couldn't be happier, flying through the sky on their broomstick-until the witch drops her hat, then her bow, then her wand! Luckily, three helpful animals find the missing items and all they want in return is a ride on the broomstick. But is there room on the broom for so many new friends? And when disaster strikes, will they be able to save the witch from the clutches of a hungry dragon?


Gustavo is good at doing all sorts of ghostly things: walking through walls, making objects fly, and glowing in the dark. And he loves almost nothing more than playing beautiful music on his violin. Now that the Day of the Dead is fast approaching, what can he do to make them notice him and to share with them something he loves? Flavia Z.Drago’s fun and vivid illustrations tell a sweet and gently offbeat story of loneliness, bravery, and friendship that is sure to be a treat for little ghouls and goblins everywhere.

My toddler loves finding Gustavo in each page as well as Leila from her second book, entitled Leila.


Tiny and Pointy love Halloween and they are eager to share their tips and tricks so that readers can have a perfect treat-filled Halloween! A heartwarming story, Tiny T. Rex and the Tricks of Treating reminds each of us that the sweetest Halloween treat has nothing to do with eating candy after all.

It has such a cute ending and my dinosaur loving 2 year old loved counting along with all the treating “rules”.


Let's ride the bus on Halloween! Who will we find inside? Grab a ticket and hop aboard for a trick-or-treat bus ride!

Families will love creating a new Halloween tradition as they sing along to this joyful, boisterous version of the classic song "The Wheels on the Bus." With a gaggle of adorable Halloween passengers—including pumpkins, witches, cats, and candy—this bright and festive book is sure to have children eager to read it (and sing it!) again and again.

My toddler LOVED singing along to this book. It’s so silly and gets a kick out of all the different Halloween characters.




This book is a bit lengthy but overall a fun interactive book about how A young girl lives in a haunted house, but she has never seen a ghost. Step inside and help the girl as she searches under the stairs, behind the sofa, and in the attic for the ghost.

It has transparent pages where when you turn the page the ghosts will appear. It’s very unique and fun for kids to find which ghost will appear next.


My son’s name just happens to be Ollie (Oliver) so of course I has to try reading any book with his name in the title… but honestly he loves this series and these gosling adventures.

While Gossie, Gertie, Peedie, and BooBoo are tricking and treating, Ollie is thinking about how sharing is better than scaring.


From fuzzy leaves, to bumpy skin, as well as a velvety Halloween witch's hat, there are lots of different touchy-feely textures to explore. My sin loved exploring the different textures on each page.


Halloween and fall is our favorite time of the year. I hope these kid friendly Halloween books will help your family think about some fun traditions you might like to try with your toddler this year.
