About the Author

Brown, Marc: - "Best known as Arthur's creator, author/illustrator Marc Brown has been working with the beloved aardvark for over thirty years. Born one night when Brown was telling a bedtime story to his son, Arthur soon evolved into the book Arthur's Nose, published in 1976. Since then, Brown has written and illustrated more than thirty Arthur and D.W. books, and has illustrated many other books - including several with his wife, author/illustrator and psychologist, Laurie Krasny Brown. Brown was born in 1946, in Erie, Pennsylvania. His passion for drawing was kindled at age six by the loving attentions of his grandmother ("Grandma Thora"), who saved his artwork in her bottom bureau drawer. "I knew it must be special," recalls Brown, "because she didn't save many things." Besides encouraging his artwork, Brown's grandmother bequeathed him her gift for weaving imaginative stories "on command" for her grandchildren. And it was his grandmother who built an education fund that helped Brown pay for art school at the Cleveland Art Institute, which he attended from 1964 to 1969. Before creating the Arthur book series, Brown worked at various jobs, including stints as a truck driver, short-order cook, college professor, television art director, and children's book illustrator. In addition to his work with WGBH developing the ARTHUR television series, Brown continues to create new books. (See lists of Arthur books right here on this Web site.) Brown lives in Massachusetts with his wife, Laurie. He also has three grown sons. Brown's own childhood and the experiences of his three children are his main inspiration for the Arthur stories."

Praise for this book

From Booklist

Ages 4-6. When Arthur's mother learns that his teacher's roof has collapsed in a snowstorm, she invites Mr. Ratburn to stay in their home. At first Arthur worries about what Mr. Ratburn will think of him. Later, labeled teacher's pet and ostracized by his classmates, he's more concerned about losing his friends. Mr. Ratburn solves the problem, though, when he announces that he'll be moving on to the homes of his other students. Cartoon-style ink-and-watercolor pictures illustrate the story with style. Some children will be as surprised as D. W. to learn that the teacher doesn't live at school, while others will hardly recognize Mr. Ratburn in jeans and a T-shirt. Though "adapted by Marc Brown from a teleplay by Joe Fallon," this is an entertaining addition to a popular series.

From Spaghetti Book Club

This story is about Arthur and his Teacher. Arthur's Teacher had to move in because his roof broke from the snow. Arthur was mad because his Teacher was moving in. After the Teacher moves in, Arthur liked him being there. But then all of Arthur's friends were mad at him and they were calling him Teacher's Pet. Then the Teacher said he was going to stay at all of the other Friend's houses. The Friend's were not happy.

I liked this story because Arthur was going to be happy because the Teacher was moving in at Muffy's house. My favorite part was when the roof broke and the Teacher had to move in with Arthur.

I would recommend this story because everyone would like when Mr. Ratburn had to move in with the Friend's.
