A cool breeze sweeps down streets as autumn spreads across America. School kids pile onto buses each morning and then shuffle home through yards, thick with colorful leaves. Darkness comes earlier each night. It could only mean one thing ... Halloween is near! It's time to plan a trick-or-treat outing and start cooking with cinnamon and nutmeg. There's no need to wait until October 31st to enjoy Halloween. Your family can start the monster-ous celebration early with these seasonal books, snacks, and activities. (And her are even more ideas!)
