Arthur is overcome with dread when he hears that his teacher is coming to stay at the Reads' house.But soon Arthur discovers that Mr. Ratburn wears casual clothes like everyone else, loves cartoons, and actually knows how to have fun.Arthur thinks his problems are over, until he gets an A on his next test, and his friends call him a teacher's pet.In the end the joke's on them, as Arthur and Mr. Ratburn set record straight once and for all.Here's another Arthur Adventure that will tickle the funny bones of Arthur fans old and new.
In a funny story with an outlandish premise (how many people can actually say they've had a teacher stay at their house), Arthur's weekend is seemingly ruined when he finds out his teacher Mr. Ratburn will be spending the weekend at his home. Much to Arthur's surprise, Mr. Ratburn turns out to be normal AND fun! Just when Arthur starts to think things aren't so bad, the kids at school start making fun of him but Mr. Ratburn saves the day. This would be a great read for any "nerdy" kids. It certainly helped me out when I was accused of being a teacher's pet.
Arthur's teacher's roof caves in during the winter and has no where else to go so his parents let Mr. Ratburn stay with them for a few days. Arthur got an A on the last test he took and other students in the class start to call him the teacher's pet. Mr. Ratburn knows this and decides to move out of Arthur's house and in turn starts rotating around to all of the students' homes until his house is fixed.
This is a good fantasy because it is animals acting out human like situations and makes students ask questions about favoritism and equal treatment within the classroom.

This story teaches Arthur that teachers have more to their personalities than just being teachers. When he learns of Mr. Ratburn's house troubles, his mom immediately offers him shelter while his home is being prepared. This gives Arthur a complex as he navigates through his feelings of having a teacher in his home.
Arthur's Teacher Moves In is a great book for children. It is a story about Arthur and his teacher. Arthur was relieved to be away from Mr. Ratburn and to finally watch tv. Arthur's Mom came over to tell him that Mr. Ratburn is staying for a couple days until his roof is fixed because the snow caved it in. Arthur starts freaking out. He is redecorating his room with smarter books and posters. Mr. Ratburn is happy that Arthur let him stay with him. He changes his clothes to be casual, he watches shows that Arthur enjoys. The kids at school see that Arthur got an A on a test. They get mad and start calling him a teachers pet. This makes him angry because he is not a teachers pet. Mr. Ratburn walks by the lunch table telling him that he is show more not staying at his house anymore because he needs to be closer to the construction. He does say that he might be staying at Ferns, Binkys, Busters, Muffys, Francines... This makes all the students freak out while Arthur begins to laugh. show less
Arthur's teacher has to stay with him because his roof collapsed. Arthur learns that teachers are different outside of school. Teachers are people, too; they have feelings and have fun. They aren't here to ruin students' lives (despite popular belief). Their lives, also, don't revolve around school related/educational things. They enjoy cartoons and fun. The kids torture Arthur because he is a "teacher's pet." To solve the problem, Mr. Ratburn arranges to stay at another student's house so that they see what it's really like to live with a teacher. He does this to help them stop making fun of Arthur.
Arthur's teacher's roof fell in one day when it was snowing outside, so he had to move in with Arthur's family until it was fixed. Arthur wanted to impress Mr. Ratburn so he watched educational videos and put books in his room and they actually got along and became good friends. When Arthur went to school all of his friends made fun of him and called him the 'teacher's pet'. When Arthur told Mr. Ratburn, he went up to Arthur the next day of school and said he wasn't staying at his house anymore and said he was staying at all of Arthur's friends' houses.
