We have tons of new books in our house this month, thanks to two school book fairs (my favorite) and Grandma has been helping us out A LOT since both kids have been sick at different times, and she never shows up empty-handed. (she loves bringing books, which is AWESOME!)
So here’s what books our kids are loving this month:
Both:
ALL Halloween Books!
I found some great ones at Marshalls last week, for a great deal. The Who’s at the Door book has a working doorbell on it, and each page had a flap door that you open. It is really cute and both kids love it. Grandma also has been bringing over lots of fun Halloween books for the kids, some are at her house and others we have. This Halloween Jack book cracks both of them up, especially Mila! She also got them 10 Trick or Treaters, which is a fun countdown book.
Hudson:
Minecraft Combat Handbook
Hudson
recently bought himself the Minecraft app, since he has been wanting it
forever. (but he never manages to hold onto his money long enough to
buy it) But he finally decided he wasn’t going to touch his money until
he saved up the $7.00 (!!) needed to buy the app. He loves the game and
is always showing me what he is building and explaining how he did it. He gets to buy two books when
his school has a book fair, and this is one of the books he selected.
Since he mainly builds on Minecraft right now, he probably would have
been better off buying the Construction Handbook,
but my husband says this was the only Minecraft book they had. He loves
this book! He brings it to school almost everyday and he says all the kids in aftercare love it, too. So cute.
Mila:
I See Me books
Grandma bought her one of these books soon after she was born and she is just now starting to get into it. These books are so cute, since they are personalized to your child. The book Grandma got her is called My Own Fairytale Storybook and it spells out Mila’s first and last name using fairies and each letter fairy tells a different story. So when the company reached out to me about sending me their newest ‘I See Me’ book they have out, I was thrilled, since I knew Mila already loved them.
This Princess Personalized book is adorable! They are really creative the way they use your child’s name to make a story just for them. This book includes a picture of Mila, which she LOVES! She always tries to get me to flip right to that page, and when she sees herself she points, claps, and gets super excited. Every story is full of personalized elements. (they include things like the city you live in, the name of brothers or sisters, the name of your pet, etc.) I think this book would be a great, unique gift for any child! They also sent me some adorable stickers, using her picture. Also super cute, and great quality. They also make personalized puzzles, placemats, and other fun stuff. The company is on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook… so check them out! (Hint, hint: they often send you deals if you ‘like’ them on Facebook!)
Your kids are adorable.
Thank you so much! I would have to agree, but I am super biased! 😉
Our kids would love Halloween Jack. That looks like a really cute book. Thank you for the recommendations.
Yes, its a very cute book, and Hudson loves anything he can read to his sister! I hope you are having a wonderful week!
We have that Halloween Jack book! I love books for October! I think my favorite has got to be What Was I Scared of by Dr. Seuss.
I have never read that book! For some reason my kids arent big fans of Dr. Seuss… strange, right? Maybe that will be the one that turns them into fans! 😉 Have a wonderful week!
I think my kids would love the doorbell book!
Yes, it is very cute and not too scary! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!
What great books! I love the ones personalized for Mila – what a perfect gift idea for Christmas!
yes they are very nicely done, esp since they include the picture in it. She really loves it and the horse that the princess chooses is named Punky (our bog's name) so she always gets so excited about that part! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are having a great week! 🙂
Fantastic books! Our kids have similar likes, Minecraft and Princesses!
Thats funny! We are minecraft newbies, so I am open to tips!
My kids love reading. Hopefully next year they understand the Halloween books!
They will before you know it! that's great that they are already into books!
Halloween Jack looks like a fun book!
The kids enjoy it! Thank you for taking the time to comment and I hope you are having a great week!
Personalized book looks very cute! Halloween books look very fun too!
That is so cute. I loved the personalized book. It is so good to have the whole family sit around and read books. Reminds me of my childhood. We used to do the same thing. Thanks for sharing 🙂
good stuff!
Halloween Jack looks cute! I love new book suggestions/recommendations.
My niece is obsessed with Minecraft. I wonder if she has that book yet?
Thanks for sharing (and for linking up to the #SHINEbloghop).
Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Your little ones are adorable! I don't think enough families read together. I think it's awesome that your's does.
