Harry Hooge Elementary teacher-librarian Karla Vernon recommends How to Build a Haunted House by Frank Tupta for Halloween.

How to Build a Haunted House by Frank Tupta is a fun and engaging Halloween story filled with spooky surprises!

A new vampire family is moving to town, and a crew of spooky creatures has an important job to do: build the perfect haunted house before sunrise! With Frankenstein leading the way, werewolves, witches, mummies, and skeletons get to work. But things are not as easy as they appear! Time is running out and a few unexpected challenges along the way have the spooky group questioning whether or not they will be able to finish before the sun comes up.

Filled with playful rhymes, colourful illustrations, and plenty of humour, this delightful story highlights themes of teamwork, creativity, problem-solving, and perseverance.

A fun seasonal read-aloud that reminds us that we can achieve great things if we all work together!
