Halloween in the Orchard (Countryside Holidays, 3) Hardcover – Picture Book, September 12, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
From the author of Thanksgiving in the Woods and A Simple Christmas on the Farm comes another fall holiday story.
The apples are ready for harvest and Halloween is here! What better way to celebrate than by donning homemade costumes and going to the local apple orchard? In this charming story, a boy and his family enjoy everything the orchard has to offer, including searching for scarecrows, getting lost in a corn maze, and going on a hayride. Phyllis Alsdurf's nostalgic storytelling and Lisa Hunt's cozy illustrations will have you counting down the days until Halloween and apple orchard season!
Backmatter includes a search-and-find key for finding scarecrows in the book and instructions for decorating a homemade trick-or-treat bag.
Halloween in the Orchard is the third in the beloved Countryside Holidays series, along with Thanksgiving in the Woods and A Simple Christmas on the Farm.

Look Inside Halloween in the Orchard
When apples hang red on their branches,
and orange peeks through pumpkin patch vines;
when leaves cascade down from the maples,
and geese fly above in their lines;
that’s when I start getting ready
for the orchard on Halloween night.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2023I love the author’s other books Thanksgiving in the Woods and Christmas on the Farm, but this one is by far my favorite! I bought as a gift for my mom, because she loves Halloween and fall, and it quickly became my son’s favorite book this year. He’s not quite 2 and a half, and can’t always sit still to listen to an entire picture book yet. But the beautiful pictures and poetic verses of the story really captures his attention. We actually went to an orchard with him this year earlier in the fall, and as Halloween approached he kept taking about Halloween in the Orchard! Perfect for someone who wants a Halloween book that’s more than just spooky things, but about spending time with family.
