" It was liked by a 6 yr old. She read most of it by herself!! "
— Jessica, 8/21/2013" Nothing earth-shattering... I did enjoy his parents, tho! "
— Lisa, 11/13/2012" Riley enjoys the Arthur stories, but they can be a little long. We break them down and just read a chapter or 2 at a time, which helps, but even then, they sometimes 'veer' from the main point and I lose him! But good 'mystery' overall! "
— Heather, 10/31/2012" Arthur learns that you can't hide the truth and that he should never keep a secret from his Mom. A good message, and my kids enjoyed the story. "
— Rebecca, 7/19/2012" Another great series for my son to read. "
— Wendi, 2/10/2012" My favorite part was when the principal was giving the package to Arthur and he thought he was going to be in trouble so Arthur was asking his friends advice... "
