A Halloween gift guide that outlasts the costume

Some kids live for this holiday. The book makes them the hero of it, in the exact costume they chose.
What it costs
$49.99 for the hardcover, shipping included. See the free preview before you pay anything.
From grandparents, near or far
One photo from the family chat is enough. We ship it straight to their door, signed with your dedication.
The one date to know
Order by October 20 and it arrives for Halloween night. After that, the free preview carries the big night.
The reading payoff inside the costume
A Halloween book is a reading tool wearing a costume. Here is what it keeps doing after the porch light goes off.
The reread they ask for
Kids come back to the book they star in. Every reread builds early fluency, with their face on the page.
Brave, practiced at bedtime
Pick bravery as the lesson and the story carries it. Kids rehearse courage in stories before they need it.
Words at their level
You set the reading level in the quiz. Short bouncy lines for the littles, fuller pages for big kids.
One steady thing in a loud month
Costumes, parties, sugar. The bedtime book stays the same every night, and it stars them.
Halloween story ideas built around the costume
Pick a world in the quiz, or type your own idea and the story shapes itself around your kid.
The costume that came alive
At dark, the dragon wings started working. Describe their real costume and the story runs with it.
The superhero shift
The cape goes on and the neighborhood needs help. One kid answers the call.
The knight at the door
A wooden sword, a drawbridge, and a friendly quest. The classic costume becomes the classic story.
The monster who lost its roar
The thing in the shadows needed help, not hiding from. Brave and kind, on purpose.
The trick-or-treat quest
Their real street, one magical night. The crew, the doors, the very last porch.
The pumpkin patch after dark
Soft glows, friendly shadows, and one curious kid. Spooky for beginners.
What to write inside their Halloween book
The dedication outlasts the face paint. Name the costume and date the year. A few starters.
Tap any line above to start, then say it your way. Copy it and paste it into the dedication page when you make the book.
How to write your own
Name the costume
Dragon, astronaut, hot dog. Ten years from now, the costume is the timestamp.
Keep one porch moment
The dog in a costume, the full-size candy bar. One real detail keeps the whole night.
Write like you talk
Read it out loud once. Cut words until it sounds like you at the door.
Keep it short
Two or three sentences fit the page and get memorized. The story does the rest.
Add your dedication when you build the book. Edit any word of it, right up until the book goes to print.
