There’s less than a week to go until Halloween. Are you feeling spooky yet?
To get her in the mood, Belle has been reading some scary Halloween stories this week from Miles Kelly. They are aimed at 6-9 year olds, beautifully illustrated and each book includes four or five individual stories. They include a mixture of classic stories with a creepy twist, plus lots of lesser known tales that have been imaginatively retold for children.
To win your own set of three books, which includes The Wicked Witch of the West, Jack the Giant Killer and The Little Mermaid, simply leave a comment on this post, telling me what your favourite book was as a child.
A winner will be chosen on 31st October.
P.S. Don’t forget to enter my competition to win a pair of Cheekyshoes too!
