Arthur's Eyes

Growing up my siblings and I enjoyed watching the television show Arthur. The episodes were very similar to the book series. Arthur's Eyes had a very good message for children. The book starts off with Arthur having to ask his friend to read the chalkboard for him and Arthur not being able to make baskets in a game of basketball. Arthur then goes to the eye doctor with his parents to get glasses. However, the students made fun of Arthur at school the next day. I feel that there are many other young kids who have had a similar experience to Arthur's. Unfortunately, it took the embarrassing event of going into the girls bathroom to make Arthur realize that he needed to wear his glasses. I found it humorous and that Arthur started a trend because the next day his friend wore fake glasses to school too. In the end, this book sent a good message to children to something that many can relate to.
