Equally important as the texts children read (or have read to them) is their ability to interact with books as objects, to be able to pick them up, turn pages, and, yes, occasionally chew on their edges. This early exposure helps build lifelong readers, and having books as playtime options will help your baby develop a sense of themselves as someone who regularly looks to books for enjoyment. Since play and exploration are a normal part of this process, board books are great for little hands that might rip or struggle with more delicate picture book pages. And when paired with the sights and sounds of Halloween, the board book format is an engaging one for both parents and babies alike! Read on to find a selection of Halloween board books to share with your baby this October. Note: you may have to toggle to board book after clicking these titles. With this stack of Halloween board books, you and your baby will be looking forward to a spooky season!
