Go back to school with Arthur! On the first day of school Arthur discovers he's got the toughest teacher in the third grade! After Arthur calls Francine a marshmallow, she refuses to speak to him. Then Mr. Ratburn pairs them up for a homework project. It looks like trouble when the principal asks Arthur to take home a large envelope marked CONFIDENTIAL. When the new Scare-Your-Pants-Off book arrives, crowds of kids rush over-only to be told that the series has been banned! Arthur is having nightmares about showing up to school in his underwear!

This is a great mentor text to use when introducing the writing process. More specifically, it's great to introduce personal narratives!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great way to teach writing.
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2008

As a third grade teacher, I am constantly trying to find ways to catch a student's interest. When it comes time to teach the writing process, I begin by reading this book. Although it seems to be overly simplistic for the grade level, it does convey what happens when your subject is too broad or your ability to stay on topic has gone awry - disaster! The "what not to do" idea in this book has become invaluable.
