A Halloween Scare in Pittsburgh

By Eric James and Eric James

Book Overview

A not-too-spooky Halloween story that turns the Steel City into a monster-filled playground--perfect for kids ages 4-8

From Bloomfield to Hazelwood, monsters are on the move--but they're here to party, not to scare. A Halloween Scare in Pittsburgh is a delightfully silly read-aloud that combines colorful creatures, playful rhymes, and just enough mischief to thrill young readers without the frights.

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 US Steel Tower and Allegheny County Courthouse & Jail, 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 Pittsburgh--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 Pittsburgh 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.

Prepare, if you dare,

for a Pittsburgh scare,

A night of pure terror to whiten your hair.

A tale full of sights that are best left unseen.

You ready? You sure?

This was my Halloween.
