Arthur's Computer Disaster

Staying on the computer when I was told not to, has certainly gotten me into trouble a lot as a kid. In Arthur's Computer Disaster he faces the same predicament. When Arthur's mom goes into work for the day she tells Arthur not to touch the computer. Buster, Arthur's friend from school, comes over and convinces Arthur to play the game anyway when the screen goes dark! Arthur can't get it fixed in time and is caught red handed when his mom comes home and fixes the computer. Arthur accepts his punishment and his mom forgives him. All is well in Arthur's world (even if he can't play games for a week). This was a completely relatable story that lso teaches kids about consequences.

Arthur scrambles to find a way to fix the computer he broke after being told not to touch it. If he had been honest and confessed what he did, he would have learned that his problem could be easily fixed. It's a nice story for young children.

This book is great for children because it teaches them to obey parents, always be truthful, and never let your friends talk you into things you know you aren't supposed to do. As a future teacher, I would use this book in my classroom because it also teaches children to be careful with computers. This is a read with a great message, it is relevant for young readers, and the illustrations are wonderful.

Arthur found the new and most amazing computer game! The only problem, this led him into some trouble. In Arthur's Computer Disaster Arthur enjoys playing this new game he found on the computer all too much. He just wants to find the "Special thing!" and then he will get off. However, his mother needs the computer right now for some work. When his mother has to run to her office to finish some work there, she tells Arthur multiple times to stay off of the computer! Arthur just can't resist, and his friend Buster isn't a great influence either. So, Arthur and Buster get onto the computer, and before you know it...CRASH! The keyboard is on the ground and the computer is black. Will Arthur get the computer fixed in time? What will Arthur's show more mom say? show less

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.

Arthur loves playing games on his mother's computer, but when he uses it without permission, chaos ensues. Arthur and his cohorts search desperately for a solution, and in the process learn a lesson about following rules and respecting others.

In this story, Arthur gets addicted to a video game and is wanting to play it constantly. When he is told his mother needs the computer all day he is pretty upset. When his mom is called away to work she tells him not to get on the computer but through his own desires and peer pressure they get on to play the game. When fighting breaks out over the mouse the computer goes black. He spends the rest of the day trying to get it back on. When his mother comes home and he fesses up to her she fixes the computer right away. She then tells him his punishment and send him to bed. Soon after you can hear her battling the undersea monsters just like Arthur was before.
