5.0 out of 5 stars
Fun, poignant, and brilliantly illustrated,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Anteater Named Arthur (Hardcover)
I loved this book when I was a 5 year old some 30 years ago, and now my son loves it also. It's fun and clever, and the illustrations hark back to a different era when 6-color printing wasn't necessary to hold a child's attention--this one uses just two colors--and yet the illustrations are wonderful.Of course, I may be a bit biased because my name is Arthur!

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of my top five favorite children's books,
By
This review is from: An Anteater Named Arthur (School & Library Binding)
My older siblings and I never forgot this childhood charmer. In fact, my 47-year-old sister still reads it out loud occasionally for anyone willing to listen. It's funny enough for adults to enjoy, and not in a silly manner at all. I always remember Arthur's argument with his mother over eating the black ants (good), and the red ants (healthy but taste awful). My other favorite scene is when Arthur is off to school one morning, but has to return over and over to run upstairs for something he forgot. Whenever a similar situation happens in real life with someone I know...or with myself...I think of Arthur and his mother saying to him, "What did you forget this time Arthur?"
