Arthur Adventure

Arthur Adventure series.
While his roof is being repaired, Mr. Ratburn stays at Arthur's house. Based on a teleplay for the popular series, this is a slightly humorous, if far-fetched episode in Arthur's life. Early books about Arthur were popular because the emotions and incidents were universal; this book will be popular simply because Arthur is a familiar character.

Arthur Adventure series.
In this story adapted from a teleplay, Brown continues to address the concerns of young school-age children. After Binky rips his pants at school, Arthur is haunted by dreams of going to school in his underpants. He stops worrying after his pants do rip, and he survives the embarrassment. Although the story is somewhat slight, both art and text are cheery.
