A Halloween Scare in Utah

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

From Draper to Ogden, monsters are on the move—but they’re here to party, not to scare. A Halloween Scare in Utah 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 Cathedral of the Madeleine and Delicate Arch, the focus stays on the joyful energy of Halloween night, as silly monsters descend for a celebration more festive than frightening.
