Some kids might like Arthur, but my son just couldn't get into him. I admit, I didn't even like this one. Perhaps a younger, more innocent child, maybe a girl really, would like Arthur more. We never made it past the first chapter. I would recommend this for the average first grader. Perhaps a read-to for the Pre-K and K crowd, but I can't see how it would hold anyone's attention really.
I have very fond memories of reading this book when I was a little girl so I was excited to find it at the library for my own daughter. She was a little confused at the name since Arthur is also the name of a character that Marc Brown writes about.

Arthur wanted to be a ghost but he spilled ketchup on his costume so Violet said to Arthurt you could be a vampire. He turned out to be a scary and cutoff a head of a doll.
Wilma's sister points out that Arthur's costume represents the spirit of Halloween. The costume merits the "most original" designation.
