We’re all about Halloween here at BookTrib and love to draw ideas from our favorite books. However, we know that not everyone wants to wear a Halloween costume that will scare the neighbors. Check out these ideas for the sweeter side of the holiday.
Lots of yellow, a polka dot tie and a stuffed monkey are all you need to make your childhood come alive in this Curious George costume.
This look is a perfect excuse to wear a cute outfit and a headband. Just grab a magnifying glass and you’re instantly a girl detective.
This costume might get you mistaken for Colonel Sanders, but you’ll still look great! Try to memorize a few quippy Twain quotes (like: “Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.”) to really sell this outfit all night.

THIS is the best couple’s costume of all time.
Pull off this Dr. Seuss look by enlisting the help of your adorable family. Or pick any of Seuss’s awesome characters and rock it solo.
