Arthur's Halloween: An Arthur Adventure

This book would be good for second grade.I would read this around Halloween time ofcourse. This book also has a hidden meaning.It shows how people should not "judge a book by its cover"...just like people should not judge other people because of their looks or where they live.

Can't go wrong with Arthur, but this isn't as good as some in the series (as a read aloud)

Arthur is not a fan of Halloween because everything seems to scare him. As he goes trick-or-treating with his friends, his sister decides to go into the witch’s house. Arthur goes and searches for her even though his friends warned him not to.

At the beginning, Arthur is uncomfortable with the idea of Halloween. But, after being forced to take D.W. trick-or-treating, Arthur overcomes his fears. He follows D.W. into the old, scary house to find a sweet older woman that needs help keeping up with her large house. In the end, Arthur is no

Given how much I loved Arthur as a child, I would definitely at least one book from the series in my classroom. However, I'm not sure I'd include this specific book because Halloween can be a bit of an offensive topic for students of certain religions. As a result, I wouldn't want to cause strife

This book has been one of my favorites ever since I was little. Every time I read it, I catch myself giggling. The book is entertaining, filled with incredible pictures, and comical. The illustrations are extremely detailed, especially for a children’s book. For example, on one of the pages D.W

and Author are talking in his room. The illustration shows Author’s army medal box, his coin box, illustrations he has painted and hung on his wall, and every toy in his room. The pictures make the readers feel like they are really in the room with the characters. Besides the pictures, the language is very laid back and humorous. My favorite line in the book is when Author says, “ The cemetery is a great place. People are just dying to get in.” It was a great way to end the book and a hysterical pun. The main message in this book is becoming confident and overcoming your fears.

This book is a fun holiday book I will put on my shelf to engage readers. I could also ,use this book to conduct a five point fluency test for a second grader.This book can be used to teach a problem and solution to deepen comprehension.

The sixth Arthur book. Halloween themed, obviously, with a rather tired 'old lady who isn't actually a witch, gasp!' plot. Plenty of Arthur being afraid of his shadow, though he does overcome his fear to go after his sister, which is a point in his favor. Most of these books, so far, are about
