Overview

Rumor has it that Francine is finally going to find a way to kiss Arthur at her birthday party. Arthur is worried, until he is assured that they will not play that spin-the-bottle kissing game. Instead, Francine and Muffy have a devilishly clever plan, and only D.W. and Pal can save Arthur.

Even though she has not been invited to the party, D.W. manages to save Arthur from having to kiss Francine.

Synopsis

About the Author, Marc Brown

Two things suggest that Arthur, the loveable star of children s books and the PBS series, may not be so fictitious after all: 1) Kids are known to call Marc Brown s house looking for their bespectacled friend and 2) Brown s third grade class picture -- according to many, a dead-ringer for the aardvark himself.

From everyone's favorite aardvark comes the sweet story of a first kiss, as Arthur and all his fun and familiar friends appear in this Step into Reading book. The story begins when Muffy invites everyone to her birthday party. With a smile, Buster quietly informs Arthur that Francine plans to kiss Arthur at the party. And we all know Francine -- she's persistent! Arthur is determined to fight her off, or at least avoid any kissing games. He thinks he just might make it through the evening when Francine and Muffy play a little trick by distributing cards with the guests' names on them. Any girl holding a card with her own name on it, they say, has to kiss the boy holding a card with his own name. The catch is that the only names on the cards are "Francine" and "Arthur"! When it appears that Arthur can't possibly escape Francine's fast-approaching lips, D.W. appears, and she and Pal save the day.

The book features two full pages of peel-off stickers. One page includes stickers that match key blue words in the book. The other page allows young readers to write their own Arthur story about a visit to the aquarium.
