“Arthur’s Chicken Pox” is another classic tale from Marc Brown’s famous “Arthur” series and it is about how Arthur catches a bad case of the chicken pox before he is able to go to the circus. “Arthur’s Chicken Pox” is a great story for children who also suffered from the chicken pox and will be an instant classic for children who are fans of the “Arthur” series.

This book is quite a bit different from the television episode that came later. The contrasts between the two are much more significant than usual for the series.
As always, Marc Brown has come through with a nice, humorous, homey story about Arthur and his family, complimented perfectly by thoughtful illustrations. When Arthur comes down with a case of the chicken pox it appears that he will miss his chance to see the circus come to town. Things aren't always how they seem, though,...more

Arthur and his family cannot stop talking about the circus they are going to see on Saturday. Plans change when Arthur comes down with the chicken pox, and all of the attention is on him!
Once again D.W. finds herself in some hot water when she pretends to have the chicken pox as well. I did this exact thing when I was little, I wanted to stay home from schooland be spoiled like my sister!

This text could be used in various ways. This book could ehance a student's prediction skills. I also would read this to my class if our school had an outbreak with chickenpox and also if one of friends from our class got them. It is good to expose children to things that are actually happening around them because sometimes in school is the only place where they will be exposed.
We finally find out D.W.'s real name!!! In this story Arthur gets the chicken pox and gets lots of attention, so D.W. gets jealous and pretends she has them too. Then she gets caught pretending. In the end she really does get the chicken pox. I thought it was kind of mean how the family was completely ignoring her just because Arthur was sick and she wasn't.
It's no surprise that kids loved this book. One it has Arthur in it. It was well-written, funny, and had good illustrations. But I love all Arthur books as I grew up with him. Read it to the class and they loved it. Can see this being used to help predict or to talk about caring for others when they are sick in health lesson. Good job Marc Brown.
In grade school, many students get the Chicken Pox, so this would be a good story to use for kids what it is and how it is treated. Furthermore, this is a good book to ask kids what they think will happen. Also this is a good book to see if they understand the theme of the book.
We signed this book out of the library last week and now my son has the chicken pox. Weird.
Another great book about Arthur and his annoying little sister. I think that D.W. is one of my all time favourite children's book characters.

I just love the Arthur books. My older boys always loved them and now my babies get to enjoy them as well. Marc Brown is so funny and he has the personality of D.W. perfect.
I really don't see the appeal of Arthur but my daughter keeps choosing these books from the library. They're good for one read, not repeated readings as they're pretty literal.
Little sister, D.W., is jealous that big brother, Arthur is getting special treatment for being sick, so she plans to make him feel worse but her plans backfire.
I just read it to the little girl I was babysitting, and I must say that it was my preferred reading o' the week!
Heaven save me from having to read this to N. one more time. Thankfully, it's a library book, so we got to return it!

This is one of Sara's favorites. I just read this one to her again tonight. I just love Marc Brown!
This is another cute Arthur story. It is about Arthur getting the chicken pox and being worried that he may not be able to attend the circus with his family. His sister taunts him through this ordeal. I enjoyed it because I can remember when I had the chicken pox and wasn't able to do all the things I wanted to do. Kids will like it because they can put themselves in Arthur's shoes and they all love Arthur stories. It would be good to read if chicken pox is going around in your class or if you w...more
Awesomest book ever( that is, aside from the big hungry bear :)!
my sister read it to me great book
D.W. deserves what she gets. Brat.
I LUV ARTHUR
Its cute!
good early reader, using text to relate to the television show many of the stories hae been repeated in the show.
Arthur gets the chicken pox and is worried he won't get to go to the circuis. D.W. is jealous of the attention Arthur is recieving, so she pretends she has the chicken pox, only to find that she actually does, but at a bad time. I would use this book when talking about chicken pox or character.
Funny story! great series of books that children will want to read over and over.
With the development of the PBS television series Arthur has become a hot commodity at the library among young readers. This particular volume will add a smile to even the itchiest of patients.
With the chicken pox vaccine, my kids didn't understand anything about this disease. Spurred a nice conversation about my childhood illness.
I liked arthur books, my fav character was buster.
