Editorial Reviews

Arthur the aardvark is having trouble with his eyes - he needs glasses! When he wears glasses to school everybody teases him. He tries to lose the glasses, but this leads to some embarrassing situations - such as when he enters the girls' bathroom. Arthur decides he's better off wearing his glasses after all. This early adventure in the popular Arthur series skillfully handles a difficult situation.

Barnes & Noble Staff

Arthur faces two different problems in these books. In the first one, he can't see so he has to get glasses, but he gets teased. So he quits wearing the glasses, which makes his problem even worse. Finally Arthur's teacher shows him how to be proud of his glasses. In the second story, Arthur's cold makes him self-conscious about his nose. He goes to a rhinologist to get a new nose, but his own is the only nose that looks right. (4-8)
