Halloween Giggles

Noodle Tries to Be Scary

A funny, not-so-spooky Halloween story

Ages 4 to 8HalloweenFunny★★★★★

Meet Noodle. He is a ghost, and he is ready to be SPOOKY. There is just one teeny problem, nobody is scared of him. Not the cats. Not the trick-or-treaters. Not even the little vampire down the street. But when Noodle stops trying to be scary and starts being his own silly self, something even better than a good scream happens. Everybody starts to laugh.

No jump-scares, no bad dreams, just giggles. Noodle is a gentle, silly Halloween story about how being funny beats being frightening, and how the best thing you can be is your own goofy self. Perfect for bedtime, classroom read-alouds, and anyone who would rather laugh than scream.
