Where your child becomes the hero of a not-too-spooky adventure.
Welcome to Leo Books Halloween stories—where your child becomes the hero of a not-too-spooky adventure filled with friendly ghosts, candy mysteries, and costume magic.

Each story features your child by name and likeness, starring in heartwarming Halloween tales that emphasize friendship, problem-solving, and bravery without the frightening elements that can overwhelm young readers.

Perfect for families who want Halloween fun without the nightmares, our books offer customizable costume moments, silly monster encounters, and "haunted" houses that turn out to be anything but scary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we make it "not scary" for sensitive kids?
Absolutely. This is one of our most important customization options for Halloween books. We understand that many young children love the excitement of Halloween but can be overwhelmed by traditional spooky elements. When creating your book, you can specify that you want a "gentle" or "no-scare" version, and we'll adjust the content accordingly. Our gentle Halloween stories focus on the fun aspects of the holiday—costumes, candy, friendship, and community—while removing or softening anything that might cause nightmares. "Haunted" houses reveal friendly surprises, ghosts are shy and sweet rather than frightening, witches are bumbling and kind, and monsters are silly rather than scary.
Can we customize the costume (style and colors)?
Yes, and we love doing this. Your child's Halloween costume is a central part of their story, and we want it to reflect their real costume, their dream costume, or whatever sparks their imagination. During the book creation process, you can specify the costume type, colors, and even specific details like accessories or special features. Whether your child wants to be a superhero in blue and silver, a princess in purple with a sparkly crown, an astronaut with rainbow patches, a dinosaur in their favorite color, or something wonderfully unique like a "pizza slice" or "book character," we incorporate those details into both the story text and the illustrations.
Can this be classroom or party-themed instead of spooky?
Definitely. We offer several Halloween stories that are perfect for children who prefer the social, celebratory aspects of Halloween over the spooky elements. Our "Monster Mash at School" story, for example, focuses entirely on a classroom party with decorating, games, snacks, and dancing—all the fun of Halloween without any haunted houses or trick-or-treating in the dark. These party-themed stories emphasize cooperation, creativity, and inclusion. Your child becomes the problem-solver who helps make the celebration successful, whether that's fixing decorations, inventing new games when something goes wrong, or making sure every classmate feels included.
Can siblings trick-or-treat together?
Absolutely, and having siblings in the story adds a wonderful dynamic. When you create your book, you can specify sibling names, ages, and costumes, and we'll include them as important characters in your child's Halloween adventure. Siblings can be fellow trick-or-treaters, partners in solving the mystery, or co-hosts of the party. Including siblings creates authentic moments of cooperation, shared excitement, and teamwork that reflect real family experiences. Maybe the older sibling helps carry the heavy candy bag, or the younger sibling spots the clue that solves the mystery.
Can you avoid monsters and jump scares entirely?
Yes, absolutely. If your child is sensitive to monster imagery or you simply prefer to avoid those elements, we can create Halloween stories that focus entirely on other aspects of the holiday—pumpkin patches, costume fun, candy adventures, and harvest celebrations—without any monster characters at all. Our Halloween catalog includes several stories that naturally don't involve monsters, like "The Candy Map Mystery," "The Pumpkin Patch Puzzle," and "The Costume That Came to Life." We never include jump scares in any of our Halloween stories, even the ones with "spooky" elements, because they're designed for bedtime reading and building positive associations with reading.
Is there a shorter bedtime version?
Yes, we can create condensed versions of any Halloween story that are perfect for bedtime reading. Our standard Halloween books are engaging adventures designed to be read in one sitting (approximately 10-15 minutes), but we understand that bedtime routines often call for shorter stories, especially with younger children or on school nights. Bedtime versions maintain the complete story arc and all the personalization but with simplified language, fewer scene transitions, and a more gentle pacing that naturally winds down toward sleep. We emphasize cozy elements—the sound of leaves crunching, the soft glow of jack-o'-lanterns, the comfortable feeling of coming home after an adventure—that help transition from excitement to calm.
