If you’ve been following along for a while, you know children’s books are one of my favorite things to collect and share. I am so excited to be adding more books to our inventory at The Amsden and on my online shop! I’ve selected so many of my favorites and classics such as Berenstain Bears, Eric Carle, Beatrix Potter, Richard Scarry, and more. I’ve linked some of my favorites below and you can click on any of them to shop. You can also click here to shop the full selection or shop in person at The Amsden!

Our Favorite Halloween Children's Books + Our Vintage Halloween Children's Book Collection

I have always been obsessed with children’s books, and started collecting even before I was pregnant. My back up job choice was always to be a children’s librarian and over the years I’ve created our own little at-home library filled with vintage and new books of all kinds. I especially like collecting holiday themed books and have gotten quite a few Christmas and Halloween. This year I was thrilled ot be able to display them all on our new playroom book wall! I’ve gathered up my all-time favorites too and linked them below so you can shop and create your own collection! Happy October!
