Arthur's Christmas (Arthur Adventures Series) Book

Arthur's Christmas is another great holiday book written by Marc Brown. This particular book can be read just for fun, but can also be used to show the true meaning of Christmas'it makes the reader really think about the true meaning of Christmas and what it means to give to others. While it teaches a good lesson, the text and illustrations still incorporate features children enjoy such as humor. For example, when Arthur can't find the perfect gift for Santa he decides to bake all of the foods he has seen Santa's around his town eat. It is very creative idea and would get children thinking about something unique to give Santa themselves. Arthur's decision to cook lots of different types of food for Santa also brings out the idea of culture. This would be a great book to use when talking about the differences between cultures because you could trace what cultures the different foods came from. This book has a lot of value in terms of the lessons and ideas it can teach to the reader.
