Charming story. My kids love it!
This is a charming story about two sisters and how they got a puppy.It sounds like it might be based on a true story. My children ask me to read this to them over and over.It's very sweet, with cute illustrations, and an easy to follow story line.I highly recommend it! ... Read more

one of my favorite books as a child!
i was read this book and i read [ later on] many times when i was little,as I was an avid arthur fan! this was probably my favrotie and when i was 5 and got the chicken pox it was very comforting to know what would happen etc. i am just disappointed my children will not have to full opportunity to understand this book and the disease it talks about becuase of the legally required vacine and much smaller number of cases

maybe even by the time i have children this will be like small pox or polio and virtually wiped out

Great Substitute
My daughter lost her library book, so this was a replacement. I didn't know she'd lost a hardback book instead of a paperback. Oh well! The book was as described and will fit beautifully into the school library.

Arthur Goes to the Circus
I read Arthur's Chicken Pox.In this book, Arthur gets the chicken pox.Arthur wakes up with red spots on his face.He gets to eat on the sofa and DW wants to eat on the sofa, too.Will Arthur ever get better...I think you should read this book.

A Book About Being Sick That Children Will Like - a review of "Arthur's Chicken Pox"
My take on this book results from my observations of my four and six year olds (boy and girl).I think it would be popular with children precisely for the same reason that books on loose teeth are popular:children in this age range are tremendously curious about their bodies.

My daughter went frantic for a while inquiring about loose teeth.She inspected the mouth of anyone who had missing teeth or who had wobbly ones.She asked what happened to them that they got loose, and what happened to them after they fell out....

In the same way, I see her looking at this book about chicken pox.She (and to a lesser extent, her brother) are curious about the spots, what they mean, etc.Also, I think it is just dawning on children this age that they can get very ill, and I believe it is comforting to them see that they will be cared for.

[One mom commented that she was concerned about how much loving care was lavished on Arthur and D.W. But I think it is reassuring to children.]

Four Stars.Okay Read-aloud that is interesting to children.

so cute
I haven't read the book but I've seen the episode on PBS and it was so cute, and also funny how DW pretended to have chicken pox just so she'll get attention. ... Read more
