Arthur Meets the President

As a huge fan of the television series, I was greatly disappointed at the lazy and sub-par writing of the books. The illustrations are very poorly done as well (especially if you have older editions of the books). Not good. just watch the show; it's on at seven on PBS every morning. ( )

This is another solid Arthur Adventure in which the family and class take a trip to Washington D.C.. There are some interesting facts here about the nation's capital that children might be interested to find out. ( )

Arthur wins an essay contest, which allows him to go to Washington D.C. and read his essay to the President, he also gets to bring his class and family along. However, Arthur is not excited because he is worried that he will forget his speech. While in Washington D.C. the class also visits the capital, the washington monument and the White House. This is a great book to teach kids about Washington D.C. and the President. ( )

Arthur wins a contest and is going to the White House for a special ceremony. When Arthur learns that he will have to recite his speech on national television he gets very nervous! This book is relatable to children, and makes a great mentor text for self-to-text connections. ( )

author has to make a surprise speech for the president -road trip!
