Customer Reviews

Bionic Bunny Back to School Surprise

D.W. has the same book bag as Arthur. She learned her lesson from picking the same book bag as Arthur. I think you should read this book because it is funny!

A Funny Story

It's time to go back to school and Arthur and D.W. need to go shopping with their Mom at the mall! They have lots of fun looking for backpacks, jackets, and school supplies. There's a lot of kidding, and D.W. plays a joke on Arthur in the end. My son *loves* this book and cracks up at the part where his Mom sees a sign saying "BOY'S UNDERPANTS SALE!" His Mom holds up a pair and who should step off the escalator at just that time but Francine! Arthur's Back-to-School Surprise is a Step 3 book from the Step into Reading series by Random House. Step 3 books are geared towards children in Grades 1-3 and features engaging characters, easy-to-follow plots, and popular topics. Step 3 Books are very good for children who are comfortable tacking new worlds and like to read on their own. A great plus for this book is that it includes two pages of peel-off stickers that can be used with the book or to create an original story. Some words in the story are in blue font, which corresponds to some of the stickers. Fun story for kids!
