- Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2014I recently purchased this book for my nephew, because I remember reading the Weekly Reader version when I was a kid. I was happy to see that the interior illustrations are the same as the original, only the cover art has been changed.
The artwork is really nice and is the best part of this book, in my opinion. It also has some good messages about not being afraid of things you don't understand and not making assumptions about people. It might not have the best stranger danger advice, however, as the protagonist enters a stranger's home while trick or treating, but to be fair, the protagonist is also a talking anteater, so...
Overall, it's a really cute Halloween story with cool artwork.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2024I remember purchasing this book as a small child from the book fair. I loved it then and I love it now. It still encompasses all the things I love about Halloween!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2024It was good
- Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2024It’s great
- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024Arthur learns things are not always as they seem. He overcame his fear of a house that looked spooky to save his sister. What he finds is a woman who needs help.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2024Some scribbles and tears but they don’t really interrupt the story itself. And for the price I don’t care. At least the tear was covered with tape.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2022Reminds me of my childhood! My daughter now loves these books
- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2012This book is a great addition to our Halloween books. My grandsons, ages 6 & 4, listen to it over and over. The clarity of the CD is excellent and the story is very helpful if your little ones have some fright about Halloween and going trick-or-treating. Arthur is a character that my grandsons could relate to because of his show on PBS, so they were excited about listening to the book. I did have a talk with them about going into strangers homes, however, especially without their parents permission. The storyline gave me an opportunity to discuss this situation with them again. It also showed how we can be helpful to our neighbors around us.

- The book arrived in perfect condition! The language is simple and easy to read. It’s a great seasonal addition to your children’s book collection. I read this to my 8 month old daughter and she loves the pictures. It was a bit of a long read for her attention span but this would be great for children a little olderReviewed in Canada on November 17, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great seasonal children’s book
This book is a great option to purchase for your children to bring the nostalgia into parenting! My daughter is 8 months old so I did find this read a little complex for her but she loved the pictures. Just be careful when reading these to little ones, to avoid paper-cuts and the sharp corners! I would definitely recommend for a slightly older age group.

My great nephew loves this book so much that he wants it read to him every time he is at my home. I bought this copy so he would have one in his own home.
