Arthur's Lost Puppy [With Stickers]

Arthur and DW are having trouble figuring out why Baby Kate is so unhappy, but Pal knows why, and goes about helping her out. With large type and an entertaining story featuring beloved characters, this beginning reader will help young beginners read. It also includes two sets of stickers -- one group to stick over words in the story and one set to create your own story about Arthur and DW -- over 50 stickers altogether. Very nice little book.

This simple but sweet 'Arthur' work is probably aimed at a younger audience than the main targets of the T.V. show- 3rd graders, however, like all 'Arthur' works, it can appeal to all ages. The plot is something of a simple mystery that should work the brains of youngsters, and at least amuse the older readers. The illustrations are probably the best part of the book, each page is vividly illustrated in full color with plenty of ambient background details as well. My only complaint is that Marc gets some of the details wrong. For example, D.W. gets her face painted as a cat, and on the very next page, it is gone. Also, the number of pink stripes on outfit seems to keep changing. (Okay, okay, one gets bored.) Overall, excellent work though.
