this is a good book. it is all about camping. first arthur is going to camp in his backyard. he is going to camp with his buddys buster and the brain. then arthur has to put up the tent. dw wants to camp with him. but she can't. then dw went indoors to hide the flashlight. then dw said i wonder if you will see any aliens. then arthur said lets put up some signs. then that night they herd footsteps. but it was only dad with some pizza. then he said to go to sleep. so the boys said good night and went to sleep. but just as dad went indoors they shot out of their beds. just as they were about to play go fish. they saw flashing lights. they went pale as a ghost. just as they were about to get even more pale they ran! right in too a tree. just then brain said look! the lights are comeing from dw's room. then arthur went to dws room. here's your camera he said. you will probably see an alien before we do he said. and went back outdoors. just then dw heard a tap at her window. she screamed!.

It's funny, when my 3 year old son first had this book read to him, he acted very scared by it, but I quickly realized he had just discovered what it felt like to experience suspense! He became obscessed with this book and had me read it over and over. I finally got an audio CD version, and he continues to listen to that and follow along in the book. He absolutely loves this book! He likes being scared and then realizing that it's actually funny. It was a great transformation, or maturing, that I got to witness in him because of this book. I will always have fond memories associated with this book...........when he finally tires of it, that is......

Arthur is a great series of books for English Language Learners and younger children (K-3rd grade). They really enjoy the stories and each one has an important lesson to be learned. This one is no exception.

I read "Arthur's First Sleepover." In the story Arthur was having a sleepover in a tent. D.W. thought there was an alien. Arthur was trying to find a flashlight. Buster and Brian came in the door. In the tent they they had junk food. And I want to say it is funny.

i found this book to be very enjoyable my six year old loves it. it s creative, funny and veryattention grabbing. we enjoy this story usually several times a week.

Taking the Arthur series a step farther and upping it to this format was a great idea. These books are terrific.

Great book!! my just turned 2 yr old daughter loves all the arthur & d.w. book series...got this one in board book format which is easier to keep from tearing. very easy to read and she sits through the whole story!!

My boys love the pictures ~~ and I enjoyed reading the story about Arthur's first sleepovers and his little sister's concern about aliens. After a trick goes bad, Arthur returns the favor to his little sister. And it's just cute.

It's a great book for beginners. If you're a mom of toddlers, this book is just cute to read ~~ it's not repetitive nor boring. It's a fun book.

Original Reviewer : Tommy Bruzina I liked it because it was funny, because DW played a trick on the boys, then the boys made a trick of their own to scare DW. Arthur had a fun time on his sleepover.
