Arthur’s Nose After reading Arthur’s Nose by Marc

Brown, print the following animal

noses, crop down, and hold next to

your child’s nose. I found it easiest

to take a picture of her with the nose

next to her face and then show her

the photo.

This could also be an excellent time

to talk to your child about any

features he or she dislikes. My

daughter doesn’t like the color of her

eyes and this project gave me the

opportunity to discuss her insecurity.

I also took the time to ask her if she would like to change her nose. This got a

pretty good laugh. For older children you could easily discuss the reaction of

Arthur’s friends and take a moment to encourage tolerance.

The exercise enclosed is one Arthur does in the book. He tries on different noses to

see if would like a new nose.
