This is a great book for teaching reading. Arthur is a favored character in our house , and the peel and place stickers really help little ones with the concepts of learning to read. It also has a whole sticker sheet that kids can illustrate their own story with. Marc Brown, through Arthur, can always view the world through a child's eyes, which helps parents to remember that things can seem alot different down there! I highly recommend this and all Arthur/D.W. books!

I purchased this book for a child's 4th birthday. I was going by the age estimate provided in the item description, which says Ages 4-8. Well, the book is actually for Grades 1-3, which obviously does not include 4 year olds. The content is appropriate, but there are not many 4 year olds who will be able to read any of this book on their own. So if you want a book that your young child can start reading on their own, look elsewhere.

MY KIDS LOVE ARTHUR AND HIS MANY ADVENTURES. THEY ESPECIALLY LIKE THIS BOOK AND THE PICKLE PEOPLE IN IT. THEY HAD ME READ IT 15 TIMES THE FIRST DAY WHICH PROVIDED AN AFTERNOON OF LAUGHS AND PICKLE GAMES.

My homeschooled kindergartner reads this book very well. She misses words with gh in them only because I haven't gotten there with her yet. She LOVES to sit in bed with me at night and read this book. It takes her 15 minutes, but she flows through it and even does voices. I'm looking for more books like this because it is a favorite for her!

Arthur doesn't turn in his homework, then lies to his teacher about it. For this, he must visit the principal's office ... tomorrow. That night, Arthur dreams of a pickle world because of the pickle he is in. He wakes from his dream, does his homework, admits he lied, and turns it in a day late.
The actual writing is disjointed, as most popular character books are. This didn't seem to bother the kids, since they asked for it to be read several more times. It would be a hard read for a very beginning reader, as it is a level 3 reader.
