Customer Reviews

It's a really Great book!

This is my favorite Arthur book. It is very funny & a creative idea. I first checked this book out from our school library. I liked it so much that I bought my own copy so I can read it again & again.It is Prunella's 9-1/2 birthday. On her half birthday, everything was in halves. Her friends give her half of things for her birthday. Her older sister, Rubella, gives her a fortune telling Cootie-Catcher. Every day everyone lines up in front of Prunella's house so they can ask the Cootie-Catcher a question since they can only ask one question a day. It is funny because everyone kept doing what the Cootie-Catcher said to do because they thought they would be cursed if they didn't do exactly what it said.In the back of the book, it shows you how to make a Cootie-Catcher. This is a really great book!

Arthur and the Cootie Catcher Author: Marc Brown This book is good for grades 2,3 and 4, because it is a big print and easy to understand. It let's you in on a fact to not to believe everything you hear or see. I highly recommend it if you like things that can tell the future or they think it can tell the future!!
