Some (Not So Scary) Picture Books

Whether you celebrate Halloween or not-spooky, scary, fun, and hairy, picture books, are a delight to read all year round. Check out a few of my favourite (not so scary) picture books.


Front CoverGuess What? written by Mem Fox and illustrated by Vivienne Goodman, is one of my all time favourite picture books. I love how the text flows through a series of questions and the detailed illustrations reveal a clever mix of Aussie icons and clues for its readers.


The Everyday WitchThe Everyday Witch written by Liz Martinez and illustrated by Mark Beech, is a humorous rhyming tale about a boy named Jimmy, who thinks his mum may be a witch.






Sounds Spooky written by Christopher Cheng and Illustrated by Sarah Davis has already sold out of its first print run and has been shortlisted for the Aurealis Awards.  It's a spooky tale filled with onomatopoeia and spooky sounds and chants to keep young readers asking,  'What's that noise that I can hear? I'm not scared!'

Check out the Sounds Spooky Website. There's heaps to explore...Wah ha ha ha ha.
