Talking About the Book
Ask children if they think Arthur is a good babysitter. Before Arthur goes to babysit, what does he hear about the Tibble twins? Does this information turn out to be true? How does Arthur find a way to handle the twins? Then encourage children to talk about their funniest, best, or worst experience while being looked after by a babysitter.
