Friday Giveaway: Arthur's Nose

 

Every Friday here at Books For Breakfast, I'll feature a book to give away to some lucky reader.  All you have to do to be entered in the drawing is to leave a comment on this post.  Next Thursday evening, I'll choose a winner (randomly, of course), and announce the winner Friday morning. 

 

 

So on to the book. 

 

 

 

 

If all you know of Arthur is the televised cartoon series, your missing the best part of Arthur.  This first book.

 

Poor Arthur is miserable on account of his nose.

 

 

He decides it's time for a change, and visits a plastic surgeon to choose a new nose.

 

 

Interestingly enough, the surgeon is a rhinoceros.  Get it?  Rhinoceros?  Rhinoplasty?  Anyway, I thought it was funny.

 

 

 So, after trying out a dozen noses or so, he chooses one.  Which one does he choose?  You'll have to read it to find out.
