Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Brown's 16th adventure starring the affable aardvark has the bespectacled fellow take on his first babysitting job. Of course he has had experience looking after his sisters, D. W. and Kate, but they are less of a challenge than the terrible Tibble twins. Though D. W. telephones to coach her brother, the feisty, cowboy-suited twins almost get the best of their frenzied sitter. But luckily Arthur calls on his colorful imagination to come up with the story of a horrible, big, slimy, stinky green swamp thing who prowls around searching for his favorite meal-twin boys. Suddenly subdued, both youngsters take cover in Arthur's safe lap, where their pleasantly surprised grandmother finds them on her return. Typically loaded with kid appeal, Brown's tale is simple and satisfying. Little ones will savor the action-filled pictures depicting the riotous chaos caused by Arthur's charges. Ages 4-8.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-- Another triumph for the likable aardvark. Arthur is tricked by his sister, D. W., into babysitting for the notorious Tibble twins, the scourges of the neighborhood. After a shaky beginning in which the boys have the upper hand, Arthur uses one of his sister's check-up calls to turn the tables and take charge. The twins ' grandmother returns to hear rave reviews for Arthur and his great stories. Cartoon illustrations full of amusing details, dialogue that rings true, and a strong story blend together smoothly to create a reading experience that children will relate to and enjoy. --Valerie F.

Arthur Gets a Job,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Arthur Babysits (An Arthur Adventure) (Paperback)
I like this book! Today was a very special day for D.W. My favorite part was when she had to go past the Tibel twins' house. There, they were jumping all about yelling, "D.W. is our favorite person." D.W. gasped. She grabbed Arthur yelling, "I'm too young to die!" "It's ok, D.W. You'll be safe," Arthur said. I think you should read this book because it is funny.
