Great book for youngsters

It's funny, when my 3 year old son first had this book read to him, he acted very scared by it, but I quickly realized he had just discovered what it felt like to experience suspense! He became obscessed with this book and had me read it over and over. I finally got an audio CD version, and he continues to listen to that and follow along in the book. He absolutely loves this book! He likes being scared and then realizing that it's actually funny. It was a great transformation, or maturing, that I got to witness in him because of this book. I will always have fond memories associated with this book...........when he finally tires of it, that is......

A Party of Junk Food

I read "Arthur's First Sleepover." In the story Arthur was having a sleepover in a tent. D.W. thought there was an alien. Arthur was trying to find a flashlight. Buster and Brian came in the door. In the tent they they had junk food. And I want to say it is funny.
