‘Desmond Pucket Makes Monster Magic’
By Mark Tatulli
Someday Desmond will be famous for his special effects wizardry, but for now he’s just trying to make it through sixth grade at Cloverfield Memorial Junior High. In a similar vein as the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series, this book includes instructions for making monster magic (think scary noises, or fake blood) at home! From Andrews McMeel Publishing.
‘That’s Creepy’
By Crispin Boyer
Subtitled “Spine-Tingling Facts That Will Test Your Creep-out Factor,” this book is crawling with eerie anecdotes and fun information about everything creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky. It’s a perfect book for the bathroom library or to read by flashlight under the covers. Just don’t tell kids how much real science and history they’re actually learning. From National Geographic Kids.
‘Imagine Me with the Three Owls’
By Lisa Hemmings
This picture book teaches children how to use their imaginations to relieve stress in an increasingly busy world, and realize the importance of self-acceptance. As readers go on a journey through nature at night, parents and children both will feel relaxed, calm, confident and happy, while also enjoying this book’s soft illustrations and positive messages.
