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!
