Arthur Goes To Camp

While attending a session at the Double "H" Ranch in upstate, NY, I found this book. At the time the Ranch allowed children the opportunity to take one book home. To this day, I still have this book, and love to read it! While the focus is on Arthur's loneliness,is a common feeling for young people in many situations. Arthur learns being away isn't all bad. A new adventure's around the corner for Arthur, and his pals!

Arthur goes to camp

This was a great book. It was about-facing fears and doing something you don't think you would like. Arthur has to go to camp and he thinks its horrible then he gets there and it starts out bad then gets better as soon as they figure out whose trying to scare them. They end up scaring them right back and winning the scavenger hunt and he has a great time. I think this is for ages 5-10. It teaches kids know matter how bad u may think something is it may not turn out so bad.

Arthur Goes To Camp

In this book Arthur's parents send him to a summer camp with a few of his friends. Arthur wasn't pleased with the idea of spending a summer at camp and it seemed to only get worse. When spooky thing starting happening, the campers decided to investigate, and find out who had been playing the tricks on them, and at the same time, have fun. The book wasn't a bad read, kids between the ages of 3 and 5 would most likely enjoy it.
