Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1?The lovable aardvark, Arthur, is the star of this board book with "over 50 flaps to open." It is a concept book, but with so many subjects it may be more confusing than informative. Alphabet, counting, colors, and opposites are combined with getting-ready-for-school and a condensed version of The Three Little Pigs in this 10-page book. Its thin organization follows the sequence of a school day, but the overall impression is that the day was wrapped around the concepts. In spite of the familiar cheerful illustrations and characters, this format is a disappointment. The flaps are difficult to open the first time, which will cause frustration. Then they do not close completely. Stick with Brown's wonderful "Arthur" stories?forget this spin-off.?Betty Teague, Blythe Elementary School, Greenville, SC

This review is from: Arthur Goes to School (Great Big Board Book) (Board book)
An excellent book for school readiness. My kidsfought over it so much that I had to buy a second copy! An absolute must-have for all 4-year-olds. Make sure to buy one for each child!

This review is from: Arthur Goes to School (Great Big Board Book) (Board book)
My four year old son has 3 precious "comfort" reads and this is one of them. We've read it so many times together he knows it by heart. It's a great book because not only does it hold his interest (he never tires of the flaps) but it also reinforces the alphabet, counting and teaches him about opposites. And it's also a fun book for me to read aloud (over and over . . . )

4.0 out of 5 stars
Like most big lift the flap books, fun and educational,
This review is from: Arthur Goes to School (Great Big Board Book) (Board book)
It seems like most all of this kind of big lift the flap books are a little similar---a page about letters, one about numbers, an opposite page and so forth, but they are also all pretty well done and big child pleasers! My 2 sons really like this one. Their favorite part is the "book within a book" of The Three Little Pigs. It got my older son interested in that fairy tale, which we then read in different versions, and then in fairy tales in general! One thing to note---the characters of Arthur and Francine and all of the gang seem younger in this book than in the show, more like preschool versions of themselves.
