Arthur's Computer Disaster

Arthur picture books were always my favorite growing up, so when I reached the Marc Brown section of the library, I did not hesitate to grab one of the books I haven’t read yet/don’t remember reading. I came across Arthur’s Computer Disaster, where Arthur disobeys his mother and goes on her computer to play a game when he’s not supposed to, and ends up “breaking” the computer.

I love the style that Marc Brown writes in. The flow is very easy to follow, and there is just the right amount of dialogue. The text is great for a first or second grader, and the illustrations, as always, are excellent and fun to look at. The lesson taught in the story is one all adults appreciate, and that is, listen to your parents! I also like the idea that the book is part of a series. If students like the first book the read of Arthur, they are for sure going to run to the library to pick up some more y books.
