About the Author:
Marc Brown is, perhaps, best known as creator, author and illustrator of the Arthur children's books that inspired the award winning animated PBS series. He has been working with the beloved aardvark for over forty years. Born one night when Brown was telling a bedtime story to his son, Arthur soon evolved into the book Arthur's Nose, published in 1976. Since then, Brown has written and illustrated many Arthur and D.W. books, and has illustrated many other bestsellers with other authors - including several with his wife, author, artist and psychologist, Laurie Krasny Brown.
Review:
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3
To get to his swimming lesson, Arthur must take the bus on his own for the first time. His pal Buster comes along for moral support. The unknown is scary and their resolve is shaken by some urban-legendary gossip: "I heard about his guy who got on the bus, and it just kept going and going and going." Nevertheless, Arthur and Buster pluck up their courage and take the trip. Trouble ensues when they fall asleep, miss their stop, and become lost in a strange part of town. Although he is frightened, Arthur knows just what to do. Looking for a phone leads the boys to a diner where they calm their nerves with "six chocolate winkies and two cans of strawberry juice." Finding the telephone broken and having spent all their money on snacks, Arthur once again demonstrates his resourcefulness by pleading their case to the bus driver. He not only lets them on, but also calls their parents and chauffeurs them right to Arthur's front door. Brown's trademark watercolor-and-ink cartoons are full of witty details, inviting readers into this aardvark's world. Another pleaser, this time one that speaks of self-reliance and safety.
