Publisher's summary

In Arthur's Mystery Envelope, it looks like trouble when the principal asks Arthur to take home a large envelope marked CONFIDENTIAL. His friends try to guess what's inside. It might just be information on...summer school! Will Arthur face the consequences or pretend to lose the envelope?

In Arthur and the Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club, Arthur and his pals can't wait for the next book in the Scare-Your-Pants-Off series, only to find out when the book arrives at the library that the series has been banned! Arthur, Francine, Buster and the rest of the gang form a plan to fight for their right to read. Can their scheme get the books back on the library shelves?

Plain pasta for the brain

The kids love this MP3 probably because it reminds them of the tv series. As for me, the parent, it's a little dull. The narration is somewhat monotone, the story (there are two) lacks humor and sometimes I question the moral character of these stories -- they often contain sibling friction and teasing. All in all, its an inoffensive albiet tedious choice that the kids will love. A bit like a dinner of noodles and peas.

thumbs up!

Two adults and 6-year-old loved this on car trip from Lake Geneva WI to Chicago on a grey day. We were amazed that the time flew by as fast as it did, and all three of us were convinced it was because we had such a good time laughing along with the stories.

Say Hello To Arthur He's Really Glad To Meet You


These are really great. We had them in the car and listened to them about 1,000 times without going insane.

Different than the PBS cartoon - but better.
