Designed for early elementary readers, this story delivers age-appropriate Halloween fun with a gentle tone and rhythmic verse that parents and teachers love to read aloud. Though lightly sprinkled with nods to local landmarks like Dolles Saltwater Taffy and Zwaanendael Museum, the focus stays on the joyful energy of Halloween night, as silly monsters descend for a celebration more festive than frightening.
With bright, whimsical illustrations and a charming story that invites laughter and curiosity, this book has become a seasonal favorite for families from Florida–and beyond. Whether you’re building a Halloween basket, planning a classroom storytime, or sharing a cozy October evening with little ones, A Halloween Scare in Florida brings warmth, giggles, and monster magic to every fall bookshelf. A must-have for fans of Room on the Broom, Little Blue Truck’s Halloween, and not-so-scary seasonal reads.

for a Florida scare,
A night of pure terror to whiten your hair.
