A Spooktacular Find: Cali’s Books Halloween Musical Book
As the leaves turn gold and the scent of pumpkin spice wafts through our home, it’s that time of year again—Halloween is just around the corner! Like many parents, I often find myself scrambling for the perfect ways to celebrate with my little ones. This year, I stumbled upon the Cali’s Books Halloween Musical Book, complete with a glow-in-the-dark cover and USB-C rechargeable features, and I knew I had to give it a shot.
Let me set the scene: it was a chilly evening, and my two little pumpkins, ages 2 and 3, were buzzing with energy, a mix of excitement and sugar from our early trick-or-treating practice. Bedtime was looming, but I longed for a quiet moment with them, to wind down and embrace the magic of the season together. Enter the Halloween Musical Book, which, upon first glimpse, lit up our evening like a jack-o’-lantern.
Themes and Engagement
This delightful book features six classic Halloween-themed nursery rhymes that instantly captivated my toddlers. From “Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground” to “Trick or treat, smell my feet,” each rhyme became a playful gateway into the spirit of Halloween—celebrating both the spooky and the sweet. My kids (and I!) couldn’t help but giggle as we sang along, and the songs really brought the words to life.
Illustrations & Interactivity
The illustrations are absolutely enchanting—Montessori-inspired and all! Each page invites new questions from eager little minds, whether it’s spotting the friendly ghosts or identifying the colorful candies. My son pointed at the dancing witches and squealed with delight, while my daughter chimed in with her predictions about what would happen next. The interactive feature of the sound buttons meant we could sing and dance, adding to our Halloween excitement. We even had our impromptu dance parties multiple times during listening breaks, which I must say, is quite a workout for both the kids and me!
And let’s talk about that glow-in-the-dark cover! My kids were mesmerized when we turned off the lights, watching the illustrations shimmer softly in the dark. It truly felt like a hidden treasure—the perfect cozy night-time companion.
Favorite Moments
One of the funniest reactions came from my daughter, who, after hearing the song about trick-or-treating, declared, “Mommy, we’re going to need MORE candy!” Her sheer adrenaline rush echoed my own Halloween memories as a child, making me giggle at how some traditions really do come full circle. There’s this profound joy in sharing these experiences, and I found myself a bit teary-eyed as we nestled together, singing every chorus.

I would recommend Cali’s Books Halloween Musical Book to any parent of toddlers aged 1-3. Whether your little ones are already Halloween fanatics or just learning about the festivities, this book is a delightful introduction. It’s the kind of treasure that turns into a cherished family staple—perfect for gatherings, gift baskets, or a quiet bedtime routine.
