Arthur's Halloween
Arthur's Halloween is about Arthur who is afraid of pretty much everything. When Halloween comes, he is told he has to take his sister. When trick or treating the two get lost behind and D.W. goes in the so-called Witch House, and Arthur has to go get her. The book teaches that you shouldn't judge somebody by what other people tell you. This book is good for kids 4-8. I thought it was an ok book.

Not You Standard Thanksgiving Faire- a review of "Arthur's Thanksgiving"
In this book, Arthur is chosen by Mr. Ratburn to be the director of the school's "Thanksgiving Day' play.As expected he is wined and dined for the primo parts by Francine, Buster and friends. The problems start however when it comes to filling the role of the chief bird.No one wants to wear that Turkey suit!
Arthur's Thanksgiving
The book was a brilliant book. I like how Arthur was the director and Francine thought that she was going to direct. Arthur had trouble finding a turkey for the school play and how he had to try to bribe people. Everyone threatened to quit the play if he couldn't find a turkey. He even bought a real turkey. Then in the end, he decided to be the turkey himself.

Ms. Carrolls' Class Book Review
In this story Arthur couldn't find a turkey. The best part of the story was when he found a turkey. We learned that at Thanksgivintg we can have fun like Arthur. Arthur was very funny in this story. Our favorite part of the story was when Arthur was a turkey and then everybody else became a turkey. We think that everyone should read this book because it has lots of funny pictures in it. ...

Excellent Fire Safety Story
When I picked this book up from the library, I was worried that it might just be a book version of episode from the episode "D.W. All Fired Up" on the "Arthur" television series. Fortunately, it isn't. It's a unique and beautifully illustrated story about fire safety that teaches children what they need to know and also manages to entertain in the process. D.W. fans will love seeing D.W. in her firefighter's hat as the "fire boss" as well as when she was just a little baby. The story is generally kept pleasant throughout, without arguing between Arthur and D.W. It also has a surprising and satisfying ending.

Great fire safety tips for preschoolers!
This book teaches a lot of important saftey steps in the event of a fire.My preschool child really enjoys the book and had fun placing the stickers on the appropriate spots. The only drawback is that not enough room is allowed for the stickers, making it impossible to see all the words once the stickers are in place. ... Read more

Arthur's Teacher Trouble
Marc Brown creates the Arthur adventure, Arthur's Teacher Trouble with a moral in mind. Also it proves that if you work hard and give it your all, you'll be more successful. The book is told for children to understand that a little hard work gets you somewhere. With no effort at all, you won't come out with your best. Neat!
This game is great for young computer-users!Each page has at least 15 "interactions" -- i.e. clicking on the salt shakers in thekitchen makes them dance.The story can read itself to you are you canread it silently.Even clicking on one word makes the computer say it. Great for children just learning to read.However, using it TOO many timescan get tiring...after all, it is just a computerized book.Great valuefor the money!

I learned from Arthur's Teacher Trouble.
I learned to do my best, but that if my best isn't better than everyone else's best, it is okay. ... Read more

Taking the Arthur series a step farther and upping it to this format was a great idea. These books are terrific.

Arthur's Eyes by Justina
Arthur's Eyes was a good example of how your treated when you look different from others. Although everyone is the same and equal, and thats how the teacher treated Arthur,equally.

Great book
I bought this for my 5-year old so that she would have some point of reference for starting school and POSSIBLY dealing with teasing about wearing glasses.Great book.We already had a lot of Arthur books and have occassionally watched him on PBS, so she's slightly familiar with him.Reading about what he tried and went through really helped her think about people teasing others about being different.We already had an OLD Arthur book (Arthur's Nose) so she knew what the OLD Arthur looked like, but I was still slightly disappointed to have the cover picture be of the NEW Arthur.

Arthur's Eyes
This book was about a boy named Arthur who has to get glasses. The next day at school his classmates and friends for wearing glasses tease him. He starts telling his teacher that he forgot his glasses at home. The lesson this book teaches that it's okay to be different and not to care about what others think of you. The age level of this book is about from ages 5-8. I thought this book was good because all children need to learn that it's okay to be different. ... Read more

I didn't like the ending at all.
This was the first Arthur Book I bought for my four year old daughter...who very strongly believes in Santa .As I was nearing the end of this book while reading it to her, I realized where we were going withthe ending.I understand if your target age is ten years old or so andthey are doubtful, but I had to explain to my daughter after we finishedthe book why Santa didn't eat the stuff that Arthur had worked so hard on,and why the sister got rid of it all. I bought this book at a school bookfair, and I was really looking forward to introducing her to Arthur Books. Now, I can't say that I'll ever buy another one.

Great Book - Arthur does it again

Arthur's Neighborhood: eith punch out figures and flaps
Our two year old absolutely loves this book.We've given this book as a gift to all the two year olds we know, they all like it a lot.We purchased our daughter a new book. She had torn the figures and slots they go in on the old book because she plays with the book daily!We had the figures laminated so they would hold up longer, it cost @$2 at a printing shop.One problem with some of the books is that the pages come apart,they need more glue inbetween!

great "waiting room" book
Over the past two or three years my five-year-old daughter has worn out two copies of this book. I am ordering a third. She never gets tired of moving around the punch-out characters, talking to them and for them.

20-Month-Old's Favorite Thing in the World
My daughter absolutely adores this book. Like another reviewer, my only complaint is the sturdiness of the play people. Once I'd taped Arthur's head on for the second time, it occurred to me to laminate 'em! That's what I'll do when I get our backup version of this. So that's the ticket. Other than that, she loves this book. She'll sit forEVer putting the guys in and taking them out. I've not seen her concentrate and work so hard at anything else yet. ... Read more

A good Valentine's Day story!
I like all the Arthur books.Marc Brown is an awesome author and illustrator.His books are really funny.They are perfect for kids ages 4 to 10.

Book Review for Arthur's Valentine
I liked the book because i can remember the first valentine that i received from a girl. I was happy like Arthur was, but didn't want everyone to know about it. In the story, Arthur gets a valentine from his secret admirer. He didn't know yet who it exactly was. He gets another one from the same person. The second one says for him to meet her at the movies. If you read this story, you will find out who sent him the valentine.

Teasing should be ignored.
When people tease you about things, it is best to ignore them and keep focused on your goal.I enjoyed this book very much. ... Read more

This is an excellent book! TRUST ME!The story is about Arthur wanting a "treat timer" for his puppy.This story is very funny and I would recommend all kids read it!
Awsome!
This book is very good! we read it in reading at school one time!

Let the Aardvark beware
In this, another great book by Marc Brown, children can learn vicariously through Arthur about money management, and specifically, how hard it is to earn money and how easily it is lost. These, ( the Arthur and D.W. Books),are great books, and more up to date than most children's books. ... Read more

It's cute
I've started reading Arthur's books to my sons and they love the colorful pictures in the book. The storyline is cute ~~ nothing spectular or exciting. Arthur invites everyone to his birthday party only to find out one of his friends, Muffy, has her birthday party the same day. Arthur decided to surprise Muffy by hosting the party at his house and all ends well. Suprise Birthday
I really like the book Arthur's Birthday because I liked when Arthur figured out what to do when Muffy and his birthday are on the same day. He was kind and knew what he was doing.

A nice, soft toy and colorful book.
This is the same story as on the TV series, wherein Arthur's birthday is on the same day as Muffy's and both want to have their parties at the same time. The fact that it's the same as on the TV show can work to your advantage in that kids know the story, whether you read it aloud or they read it to you. It gives them confidence in knowing some of what's going to happen. The colorful illustrations are fun to follow along with. The Arthur doll is soft and huggable with "glasses" that are sewn onto the washable body. The doll makes a nice prop if you're reading out loud to a small group. ... Read more

Arthur's Computer Disaster
"Arthur's Computer Disaster" was a cute book. Any child would enjoy it. It's not only an easy reader that they would like reading, but it teaches a lesson. -What happens when your break the rules. For non readers only
Book is on the level of SEE SPOT RUN.Not for young readers.

Arthur's in trouble now!
This is a great book to teach kids what happens when you break the rules. Arthur's mom tell him he can't play his new computer game while she's gone. But the game is really cool, and he doesn't mean to play it, exactly, just show it to Buster. But, as you might guess, things don't work out that way. Arthur is convinced he has broken the computer. D. W. worries that they will now be homeless, and it will all be his fault. But Mom is able to fix the computer and they all learn a lesson about following the rules.Read more

Arthur's Tooth
Arthur's Tooth by Marc Brown is a book that any kid that's about to loose a tooth would enjoy. In this story Arthur is the last to loose a tooth. He feels behind and awkward for it. Everyone tries to help him loose it, but nothing ever succeeds. Finally, Francine, the bully of the group, that hassles Arthur for not loosing a tooth yet, jabs Arthur in the mouth, and knocks his tooth right out! Losing A Tooth
Another great book from the Arthur series.The book is about Arthur, the last student in the class to lose his first baby tooth.Some of the other students in the class make fun of Arthur, because he still has all his babyteeth.Other students try to help Arthur's tooth fall out, but nothingworks.Finally an accident causes Arthur to lose his tooth.This bookteaches children to be patient and to help their friends.It also teachesthem that everyone is different.I really like this book.

We LOVE the Arthur books!
We are first grade students at the Anna Merritt Elementary School.Our teacher did a Marc Brown author study.She read Arthur's Tooth to us and we loved the book.Javeon and Cory liked the part when Arthur wanted topull out his tooth with his hand.Nicholas and Jacob liked the part whenArthur lost his tooth.Marissa liked the part when Francine knockedArthur's tooth out.We hope Marc Brown writes a lot more Arthur stories! ...

arthur's april fool
my son loved this book.he was having a problem with a bully at school and this book really help him see that even big bully's have weaknesses.

arthur's april fool
it was an okay book.I think that D.W. and Arthur make the perfect brother and sister because they always disagree.It was a funny book because Arthur does a good trick on Binky.

Arthur and D.W. are so much fun!
ARTHUR'S APRIL FOOL is one of the earlier books when the drawings of Arthur still gave him the longer head. And because it's an earlier book, all the characters you know from the wonderful TV series are here, but they look just a bit different than we're used to. It's a great story with a lot of depth and a lot of fun. The illustrations are so funny, with a lot of interesting details for kids to find. My favorite is always D.W., and she doesn't let me down here, either. The Arthur series is simply amazing and wonderful. It brings me great joy. I would get every one of the books in this affordable series of paperbacks. ... Read more
