Arthur's Tree House

by Marc Brown

In Arthur's Tree House, Arthur is excited about his new Bionic Bunny comic book, but he can't find a quiet place to read. Dad is vacuuming the bedroom, Mom is busy in the kitchen, D.W. is practicing ballet in the living room, and Pal wants to play. The only spot Arthur finds is in a tree. This gives his dad an idea. Soon Arthur has his very own tree house, where he can go with his friends, family, or just to be alone!

Sometimes we just need a space to call our own.

Arthur, I feel you. It’s hard to find a quiet place to read.

[Rosa Cline]

This is an earlier Arthur book (doesn't have baby Kate in it) Arthur wants some quiet time alone, but everywhere he seems to go there is someone making noise or needing him. He finds semi quiet outside then looks up and find that being in a tree reading a book is wonderful. His family finds him and joins him and they decide to build a tree house for him...

If I had ever seen the television show, I might have found this book more exciting. Even without, it was decent, though. So maybe I should start watching Arthur...

[Theresa]

good early reader, using text to relate to the television show many of the stories hae been repeated in the show.

[Laura]
