Marc Brown's Arthur adventures

His friends tease Arthur when he gets glasses, but he soon learns to wear them with pride.

Arthur finds everything about Halloween scary, including his little sister's costume, his morning snack, and the big house on the corner.

Arthur finds his role as director of the Thanksgiving play a difficult one, especially since no one will agree to play the turkey.

Arthur's determination to prove he is responsible enough to have a puppy brings him a menagerie of animals to care for. In order to prove to his parents that he is responsible enough to have his own dog, Arthur starts a petsitting business. Things go pretty smoothly until he thinks he has lost Perky, the spoiled dog who was his first customer. A surprise is in store for all at the end of the book-especially for Arthur!

Francine starts a rock band, hoping it will focus on music rather than money and fame.
