Arthur's Birthday

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. ( )

When Arthur and Muffy decide to have their birthday party's on the same day...Arthur comes up with a perfect plan so that all their friends can attend both parties! This story will engage any reader who is excited for their birthday party. It also teaches kids ways they can be good friends towards eachother. Marc Brown's books are filled with color and excitement. This is a great series that I would recommend to young readers.

The Arthur Adventure Series are true classics. They are great childhood read alouds. Arthur's Birthday is a great one as Arthur is so excited for his birthday party until he finds out his friend is having her birthday party on the same day. It is a fun story but also has a moral which is a great addition to a children's book! ( )

This is a cute spin off of the tv series Arthur, The illustrations match perfectly with the tv show, and this particular book shows great lessons for kids about friendship and fun. ( )

We read this book in Mrs. Nevin's class after a few days of studying Marc Brown. The students had previously learned that the author includes his children's names in his illistrations, so they really enjoyed looking for those. ANy of the Arthur books are great for first/second graders!
