TTT: Bookish Halloween Cotumes for Kids

Top Ten Tuesday: Theme---Halloween Freebie. 

Bookish Halloween Costumes for Kids

1. Thing 1 and Thing 2 from The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss




2. Pippi from Pippi Longstockings by Ingrid Lindgren

3. Monsters from Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

4. Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

5. Jellicle Cats from Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot

6. Frodo from The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

7. Camilla Cream from A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon

8. Caterpillar from The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

9. Oompa Loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl

10. The Man with the Yellow Hat from Curious George by H.A. Rey and Margret Rey

I always encouraged my children to select non-scary costumes for Halloween when they were young. They continue, as adults, to select costumes which are fun but not frightening. This year my grandson will be the Owl from Daniel Tiger. So cute and creative.

    These are so cute! Thing 1 and Thing 2 is awesome- even the blue hair! And the hobbit one too- nice. :)

      I know. They are so darling. The Frodo guy looks like a real hobbit, too.

    Every year I had to help kids figure out a costume to wear for our book character parade. There were always some amazing costumes.

    I love the Man in the Yellow Hat. Curious George was one of my favorite books as a child. I also think Monsters is super cute!

    I love these costumes! I did the same with my daughters; they generally chose animals or princesses. Ashley was once a character from an American Girl story.

      I didn't want the holiday to be about demons and ghosts.

      No wonder parents love Halloween, too. It gives us a chance to play dress up with our kids.
