1-3Marc Brown Arthur Chapter Book series.
Adapted from teleplays for the PBS television series. Arthur and his friends face typical elementary school adventures, from which they learn lessons about friendship, popularity, kindness, or accepting challenges. There is little character development--it's assumed readers know the characters already--but the predictable stories will appeal to children looking for the comfort of literary friends. Black-and-white line drawings accompany the texts.
