Can you recommend some kid - friendly halloween stories with a moral?

A great kid - friendly Halloween story is 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. Although it has some spooky elements like the Headless Horseman, it's usually told in a way that is not overly terrifying for children. The story is set in a small town where Ichabod Crane, a superstitious schoolteacher, has an encounter with the Headless Horseman. Another one is 'Goodnight Goon', which is a parody of 'Goodnight Moon'. It has all the Halloween - related things like a goon instead of a moon, and little monsters instead of little bunnies. It's a fun and not - so - scary story for kids.

One popular kid - friendly Halloween story is 'Room on the Broom' by Julia Donaldson. It's about a kind witch who loses her things while flying on her broomstick and makes new friends along the way. The illustrations are also very engaging for children.

Yes. 'Strega Nona's Magic Lessons' is a good one. Strega Nona is a well - known character in children's stories. In this Halloween - themed story, she teaches some magic lessons. Then there's 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' which has been adapted into a kid - friendly version. It features Ichabod Crane and his encounter with the Headless Horseman in a spooky but not too terrifying way for kids. Also, 'The Berenstain Bears' Halloween Trouble' is a story that many kids love. It shows the Bear family getting ready for Halloween and the little troubles they encounter along the way.

One wonderful kid - friendly Halloween story is 'Room on the Broom'. A kind witch loses her things while flying on her broomstick, and different animals help her find them. They all then ride on the broom together. It has fun rhymes and a positive message about friendship. And the witch and the animals' adventures are not too scary for kids.

Sure. Here's one: There was a little witch named Lily. She had a broom that was too big for her. On Halloween night, she wanted to fly with the big witches but kept falling. Then a friendly ghost helped her fix her broom. In the end, she flew high in the sky, looking at all the kids in their costumes.

A little boy dressed as a vampire got lost on his way to a Halloween party. He knocked on a friendly old witch's house. The witch gave him some magic candies that glowed and led him to the party. Along the way, he met other costumed kids and they all went to the party together, having a great time.

A good kid - friendly scary Halloween story could be about a haunted tree. In a small town, there's a big, old tree in the park. Every Halloween, strange noises come from it. One year, a group of brave kids decide to find out what's going on. As they get closer, they see shadows moving around the tree. But when they finally reach it, they find out that it's just some squirrels that have made their home in the hollow part of the tree. They were the ones making the noises as they moved around their acorn stash. It's a bit scary at first but has a funny and non - threatening ending.

One characteristic is that they usually feature familiar Halloween symbols in a non - threatening way. Take 'Pumpkin Jack' for instance. The pumpkin is a common Halloween symbol, and the story focuses on its life cycle rather than scaring kids with it. Also, kid - friendly Halloween stories tend to have a happy ending. Whether it's the old lady in 'The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything' who overcomes her spooky encounters or the animals finding a place on the witch's broom in 'Room on the Broom', the endings make kids feel good. Moreover, the characters are often relatable for kids, like the boy in 'Pumpkin Jack' who loves his pumpkin.

They are usually not too scary. For example, they might have spooky elements like ghosts or witches, but these are presented in a more light - hearted way. So, instead of a really terrifying ghost, it could be a friendly ghost that just wants to play. They also often have a moral or a lesson. Such as in 'The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything', the lesson could be about facing your fears. And they typically use simple language that kids can easily understand.

One great kid - friendly scary Halloween story is 'The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything'. It's about a little old lady who encounters a series of spooky things like shoes that go 'clomp, clomp' and pants that go 'wiggle, wiggle' but she shows no fear. In the end, she uses her wits to turn the spooky things into something fun. Another is 'Room on the Broom'. It has a witch who loses her things while flying on her broomstick and different animals help her. There's a bit of a scary moment when a dragon shows up, but it all ends well.
