1-3Marc Brown Arthur Chapter Book series.
Assuming that Buster must dread the upcoming Father's Day picnic because his parents are divorced and his father isn't around, Arthur is so busy trying to find a substitute that he ignores Buster's true feelings. As with other books in the series, this story is based on a teleplay and relies on reader familiarity with characters and setting. The lesson stands out from the rather bland storytelling.
