His ankles were crossed and his little shoes were so cute. There was a whole trash can full of wadded-up papers he had discarded. He was writing down parts for the play, because Mr. It was a waste to have the poster on the wall of a dinosaur eating a book, with the caption “Why are books delicious? Because they’re” and have the end disappear behind a student. Not sure what animal she was supposed to be. The little girl with the pointy ears and curly hair was cute. It should be called Arthur’s Thanksgiving Play, because it was all about the play, and not about thanksgiving dinner. I think it could have ended better, but overall it was a cute little book. When he said let's hear the last line, I thought he meant the one he just said, not happy thanksgiving, so I was surprised it ended like that. The audience laughs and he turns bright red. Sue Ellen said her lines loud and clear, Francine lost the glasses.Īw I thought Arthur might be the turkey. I like the improvements, buster gets his line right, the Brain had his costume on right(it wasn't addressed he had it on wrong during rehearsal).

It was funny how buster gets his line correct and Arthur is like 'phew!' 'Shhhh!' Said the teaches as the curtain went up.' It's cute how they said 'OOOoo!' Said the kids when the lights went out. I like how they asked Arthur if they had a turkey, and he just smiled. The footstool was funny cuz it had three steps on it! & he had spilled water and his sisters like if u want something done u gotta do it yourself. 'As a last resort Arthur decided to rent a turkey. 'Today when we think of thanksgiving, we think of TURKEY.' Haha! However I didn't know why she glared at Arthur, until he said they'd fine a turkey in time, so obviously she was missing her prop. It should have said she fell so we knew what the oops was for. Then there was 'oops! & the Indian braves went on their own turkey hunt.' I realized after reading the next page and then looking at the pic that Muffy had fallen. '&the pilgrim men went off to hunt for a turkey.' Did Sue Ellen say that? It was funny hearing them in rehearsals, everything sounded so wrong!some things idk who said becuz it's kind of all crammed together. I like that the illustrator adds details, like in the principles office. & buster said 'we sailed to America on the cauliflower.' That's cute Francine kept her glasses on and couldn't see where she's painting, so she was painting the guys butt.

The turkey costume is all brown! It needs colors! It's crazy how they all wanted to be different characters. It's funny how Francine said she had the loudest voice, and Arthur was like 'no doubt about that. It says Why are books delicious? Because they're _, and we can't see the answer!!! I was instantly surprised at the drawings.
