As a nutrition specialist and caring
aunt, I’m always looking for healthy and fun alternatives to sugary treats
during the Halloween
season. As I searched around I came across four delightful Halloween books by
Children’s book author Donna Davies, which is a healthier alternative to the
sugary sweets and a positive way to celebrate Halloween with your children.
Donna Davies dubbed “The Halloween Queen,”is an independent self-publisher from
upstate, NY. She created All Hollow’s Eve press http://www.allhallowsevepress.com/ and is also
the creator of the on-line magazine The Hudson Valley Halloween Magazine.
These Halloween books will fright
and delight your children in full-color with beautiful illustrations by Rob
Peters. These books are spooky but not too spooky to scare your children and
cause nightmares, they are great for this season and anytime of the year! Your
little ghouls and goblins will love the fun adventures of all the adorable
characters in the stories.These are great books for any child who is learning
to read and the pictures and colors are a feast for their little eyes!
The first book is The Halloween
Queen Who Lost Her Scream. Your little one will enjoy the adventure of the
Halloween queen and her ghoulish friends as they embark on a journey to help
the Halloween Queen find her scream that was stolen from her. Will they find
her scream before Halloween? I won’t reveal the ending that is part of the
treat of reading the story.
Her second book Sleepy Hollow and
The Road You'd better Not Follow was inspired by Washington Irving’s 1820
short story, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” and her personal experiences in the
Sleepy Hollow Cemetery one fall evening. The story is about a little girl who
is trying to find her way home, when she unexpectedly runs into the headless
horseman and the adventure begins!
Night of The Candy Creepers is another great Halloween story that is sure to be a
treat for your little ones. In this story, a little boy dressed as Dracula for
Halloween goes trick or treating and feels he is being followed. Could it be
the candy creepers creeping around for his candy? You will love the twist at
the end as the candy creepers are revealed! It’s sure to bring back childhood
memories!
Bye, Bye Boogeyman is a fun tale of a little girl who turns the tables on the
boogeyman. This is an excellent book for children who are afraid of the
boogeyman and monsters under their bed.
All of Donna Davies books are
available through Amazon, Kindle, Nook and Kite readers. You can also get the
animated version of her books on iTunes. http://kitereaders.com/2013/10/01/spooktacular-hallowee-n-specials-week-1/
This Halloween create a new healthy
Halloween tradition by giving your little werewolf or witch one of these
frightfully fun Halloween books. It may not be candy, but these Halloween books
are certainly a treat!
