Review # 1 was written on 2010-04-05 00:00:00 Steve Moidel "Arthur Babysits" is another one of Marc Brown's fantastic "Arthur" series about the importance of responsibility. In this story, Arthur has his hands full as he baby-sits a pair of troublesome twins when their mother is out of town. "Arthur Babysits" is truly a cute tale about the trials of babysitting that children will love for many years. Marc Brown has done it again as he writes a brilliant story about the importance of being responsible when babysitting other people's children. I love the way that Arthur was worried about taking on this huge responsibility of taking care of the twins by himself until his parents reassure him that everything will turn out alright at the end. This indicates the problems that most children will experience throughout their lives, even if they are not taking care of other people's kids, but they still have to deal with being responsible for their actions and this book clearly details the trials of responsibility that Arthur has to go through when he is babysitting the twins. Marc Brown's illustrations are creative as all the main characters are humanoid animals, with the exception of the Tibble twins. I love the way that Marc Brown makes the Tibble twins the only human beings in this story, which I found to be quite unusual for most of Marc Brown's Arthur books as most of the characters are animals. "Arthur Babysits" is a wonderful story about the importance of responsibility when taking care of other people's children and how one must be smart when dealing with troublesome children. I would recommend this book to children ages four and up since there is nothing inappropriate about this book. From my Epinions Review:

Review # 2 was written on 2011-04-07 00:00:00 Belinda Bustamante I enjoyed reading this book and seeing what would happen because I really didn't know what the conclusion would be. I think this book would be good to teach students beginning, middle, and end because all the 3 parts can be easily described and pointed out. The beginning arthur offered to babysit. The middle Arthur got nervous and at first did a bad job babysitting. The end he calmed the boys down with a story and was asked to babysit again.
