Monster Museum is a cute book that contains various poems starring scary monsters such as Count Dracula, Zombie, Bigfoot, etc.  This book would be a very good one to have in my classroom around Halloween.  It's just a fun book full of creepy ghouls and goblins that kids would love to read at that time and it's poetry so students can get the basics of rhyming words, as well.
