This Arthur Chapter Book makes it easy to understand why Arthur is such a popular character. Almost every child, and the child hidden within every adult, will relate to the story of Arthur being called to the principal's office. Arthur's friends assume that Arthur is in trouble. When he returns to show them the envelope the principal has given him, they assume Arthur is in BIG trouble. The envelope is addressed to Arthur's mother and is stamped Private and Confidential. What is in the letter? Will Arthur have to go to summer school while all his friends enjoy camping and Rollerblading? Arthur drags himself home. He intends to give the envelope to his mother, but somehow or another the time is never right. As Arthur procrastinates, his imagination conjures up one dismaying scenario after another. When the envelope is finally opened, Arthur is relieved. The message has nothing to do with him. But, oh what tortures he endured while delaying the inevitable.
