YOUNGER FICTION
Krensky, Stephen

Arthur and the Poetry Contest

(4) 1-3 Marc Brown Arthur Chapter Book series. Books eighteen, nineteen, and twenty in the series are adapted from teleplays for the PBS television show. Illustrated with shaded black-and-white line drawings, the stories revolve around school, family, and relationships, and all end happily as the children involved learn a lesson. The stories read briskly and the appeal is based on familiarity rather than literary quality, but the writing is solid.
