Marc Brown`s popular children`s books spring to animated life in PBS`s educational television series ARTHUR. Aimed at ages 2 to 11, the cartoon follows the wholesome adventures of the titular aardvark as he works through childhood problems and learns valuable life lessons about growing up. This volume presents three fun-filled episodes about relating to others, all centered on Arthur`s beloved grandma, Thora. In
Arthur Loses His Marbles,
grandmother and grandson compete against each other in a marbles tournament; in
Half-Baked Sale,
Arthur tries to prevent Thora from submitting her bland cookie recipe to the school bake sale; and in
Clarissa is Cracked,
Arthur`s spunky little sister, D.W., damages Thora`s favorite porcelain doll.
