Arthur's Teacher Trouble

This book suffers badly from the common publishers' delusion that all books can travel from one country to another with no more than the most token attempt to adjust the content. Arthur, who is some sort of animal, goes to an American school full of 'kids' who sit in an auditorium, have 200-word spelling tests, are called students, have lockers and are, in short, in such an alien world that my children couldn't understand what was going on until I had explained. And when I had it wasn't worth the effort. The words 'first grade' are changed to 'infants', the only attempt I could find to pay attention to the text at all. This probably works very well in America: I cannot think of any reason not to leave it there.
