A Halloween Scare in Oregon

A not-too-spooky Halloween story that turns the Beaver State into a monster-filled playground—perfect for kids ages 4–8!

From Medford to Beaverton, monsters are on the move—but they’re here to party, not to scare. A Halloween Scare in Oregon 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 Astoria Column and Multnomah Falls, the focus stays on the joyful energy of Halloween night, as silly monsters descend for a celebration more festive than frightening.
