This is another great Marc Brown Arthur story. All of the Arthur books are a great read for elementary level students. I'm not sure if I would end up reading this book out loud in class, but I know I would have it in my classroom library. It may also be a good one to have around for maybe a author study or a book report. There is an easy, recognizable plot line and kids can easily relate to it.
Arthur gets stuck babysitting for the worst behaving twins and is not looking forward to it. D.W. doesn't help his confidence either becuase she keeps reminding him what an aweful time he will have. However, Arthur gets the boys to calm down by telling them a scary story and making them nervous that a monster is coming. In the end, Arthur enjoys babysitting for the twins and agrees to do it again. This is a great lesson for readers, no matter how much other people talk and have opinions on someone or something, it always depends on your own personal expeience. Arthur learned this lesson when he babysat for the Tibble Twins.
