Arthur Lost in the Museum（Step into Reading, Step 3）

Step into Reading系列讀本--

　　兒童的語言發展與認知發展是具有階段性的，英語學習與發展同樣也有階段性。隨著年齡的增長，孩子的認知結構日益成熟，對語言的應用靈活度也增加。而在初學的階段，培養孩子的閱讀習慣及對英語的興趣，都需要有適當的輔助。

　　Step into Reading分級讀本出版團隊非常嚴謹及專業，網羅全世界知名繪本家之作品，一字一句都細細鑽研，讓孩子不但能從故事中學習英文，也能學習到知識及生活技能，充分體會學習的樂趣！

　　每一分級、每一本書都非常適合學習英語的孩子閱讀，熟悉的卡通人物（湯瑪士火車、獅子王、小熊維尼、玩具總動員…）、廣泛的常識（木乃伊、恐龍、特洛伊戰爭…）範圍活潑生動的插畫、配合圖簡單易懂的單字，拉近孩子與書的距離，也很適合親子共讀。

　　Step 3：時態上已使用過去式，句子也較長，所用的語言不艱深，適合小朋友自己獨立閱讀。

　　亞瑟與班上的同學參觀博物館時，在上完廁所後竟迷路了，亞瑟該如何脫困呢？ 經過又會發生什麼趣事呢？
