Arthur's been given a creative writing assignment but cannot decide
what to do. Arthur's an 8-year-old read-a-holic aardvark with a very cheeky,
bossy, little sister, called D.W.. Wherever Arthur and his gang (Binky
Barnes, Buster, the Brain, Muffy and Francine) meet up, there's always
adventure.
Arthur finds everything about Halloween scary: his little sister's
costume, even his morning snack! But he's most afraid of the big spooky
house on the corner where no one wants to go trick-or-treating. His fears
are eventually soothed once Arthur realizes things don't always turn out
the way you imagine.
Kids will love listening along as beloved author/illustrator, Marc
Brown reads this exciting Halloween story!
On the first day of school Arthur discovers he's got the toughest teacher
in the third grade! The pressure is on to study hard for the all-school
Spellathon. Can Arthur beat last year's champion speller? Or will he let
Mr. Ratburn d-o-w-n?

Arthur
Makes the Team - VHS
Arthur, based on the popular book character created by Marc Brown,
joins a baseball team where all the players just want to pitch. Teamwork
becomes the enjoyable lesson in this episode. Also on this video is "Meek
for a Week," a cute installment in which the prickly Francine is challenged
by Muffy to be nice for a week but not tell anyone she's making the effort.
The overnight personality change has Arthur and the gang worried that Francine
isn't herself anymore. --Tom Keogh - Amazon.com Special Order

Arthur's
Lost Library Book - VHS
Marc Brown's fine fellow of an 8-year-old aardvark, Arthur, loses a
library book (the latest story from the Scare-Your-Pants-Off series), and
he searches and searches everywhere for it. Mystified by its disappearance,
Arthur does what any child his age might do in this situation: wonder if
the scary book walked off somehow by itself. This entertaining story of
responsibility is followed by an excellent episode about sibling dynamics,
"D.W.'s Imaginary Friend," in which Arthur's sister gains an invisible
pal, much to his embarrassment. --Tom Keogh - Amazon.com
