Poor Arthur goes to the museum and has a hard time getting permission to go to the boy's room. After he finally does, he has a hard time finding it! He ends up making history in the process! Really nice illustrations.

Arthur's class goes on a field trip to a museum...and while he is in search of a bathroom he gets into the various displays about the early settlers for Thanksgiving. While his class mates see him and giggle at him he 'hides' from Mr Ratburn...

Arthur finds himself lost while trying to find the bathroom. He dodges getting in trouble multiple times with quick thinking and fast moves. This book introduces newer and bigger words for students to tackle.

Summary: Arthur and his class go to the muse next to learn about the pilgrims and the native Americans. He asks his teacher if he can go to the bathroom. However, Arthur got lost and ardently opened the door into the exhibit. Now Arthur must find a way to find the bathroom.

Rating: This was a humorous book and I think kids will really like it. I would rate this book a five out of five stars.

Use in Classroom: I would read this book before a trip to a museum to caution students from getting lost. Another way I would use it is when we are talking about the Native American’s and the pilgrims.

Arthur’s class went with their teacher to the museum. Arthur asked to go to the bathroom. He got his teacher’s instructions mixed up and ended up in the wrong room which made for situations for his classmates. Great illustrations.

This book is about Arthur and he gets lost in a museum. This would be a good starter book for preschool and kindergarten students.

So, Arthur, just keeps looking for the bathroom by going into a couple of different rooms? Not my favorite.

In this book Mr. Ratburn and his third-grade class go on a field trip to the museum. When Arthur has to go to the restroom he gets lost and finds himself in the first Thanksgiving, and in the Indian glass.

Favorite part: Arthur thinks that the statues are alive! And when he finally found the boys' restroom, and when he saw George Washington!
