Each week during Wonderopolis' Camp What-A-Wonder, I will be sharing kid friendly books to go along with the theme. This week's theme is, "Spooky Stories". The books this week range from picture books, easy readers, short stories and chapter books. I found all of the books at my local library. I encourage you to visit your library and check out a few for a Spook-tastic "Spooky Stories" Week!
