Summary: Not the best children's book. Buyers beware!
I don't mind the story about Arthur and Muffy. I am very surprised that a bottle label with "spin the bottle" was given to Arthur as a birthday gift. Out of all the things in the world, this is a gift given in a Children's book. Very odd and inappropriate. I wish I read the review in more details before I ordered the book.

Summary: Not appropriate for young children
My 3 1/2 year old daughter loves reading Arthur, and we take out all of the books from the library. I was quite surprised and rather disappointed when we started to read this book and there was a mention of "spin the bottle", a game for young adults. At the end of the book Francine gives Arthur a bottle as a birthday present so they can play the game. These children in this book are around 8 or 9 and should not even be thinking about kissing games at this age!

Summary: not only was the spin-the-bottle annoying...
... but what's wrong with the newer more-evolved Muffy? The lesbian sports jock Muffy we all know and love from PBS? It was bad enough with my daughter demanding to know about spin-the-bottle, but then it comes up again with child number two. I should have thrown this one away.
The book's one saving grace for me was that the cousins who come to visit are from Ohio. Ohio doesn't get a lot of play in fiction, and I did notice growing up that everything seemed to happen in California. Or at least somewhere else. Not the midwest.

Summary: My favorite Arthur book--also made a good episode
A very cute book that tells the story of Arthur, an 8 year old ardvark whose birthday party is the same day as his friend Muffy's. After the boys and girls initally side with their own kind, Arthur has the idea to give Muffy a surprise party.
In regards to the 'spin the bottle' complaints, I had no problem with it as a kid, and considering they don't actually play (the joke is that Francine wants to play at all, being the tomboyish girl of the group) I don't think it's going to traumatize anyone.

Summary: A Birthday At Arthur's House
I like this book because it is Arthur and Muffy's birthday. It reminds me of when I was in first grade. I had the same birthday as someone else. I like Marc Brown. My favorite part is when they surprised Muffy by hiding in different places in Arthur's house. I think you should read this book because it's a good book.
