"Arthur, Clean Your Room!"

Before I write about my favorite book, I have a question. Do you think small children are cute? Yes? Why? Probably for many reasons. Today I would like to tell one reason why they are so cute: small children do not think and act like grown-up people like us. That’s why they are cute. The book I write about today, entitled “Arthur, Clean Your Room”, is an example. I’m sure you think Arthur is such a cute child.

To make a long story short, the book is about a young boy named Arthur. One day his mother is cross (=angry), because his room is such a mess. There is so much junk. She wants Arthur to get rid of the junk. His little sitter has a good idea. She suggests selling all the junk and making money.  Arthur likes the idea. So he has a garage sale. Will he successfully sell all his junk? Well he does. But he doesn’t make any money? Why? Well, you must read the book and find that out.

The story is so cute, because Arthur tries so hard to get rid of his junk, because his mother told him to do so. But he forgets one important thing. His customers are his friends, and they are small children too, and small children do not have a lot of money! So they buy Arthur’s junk not with money, but with something else. What will it be? Well, again, what it will be is my little secret. Only you can discover it by reading this book.
